Abstract:
Cartographic evidence indicates that there were several other buildings associated with the hotel, including stables and garages within the rear courtyard in addition to a pavilion, tennis court and greenhouse. These buildings represented the popularity of the hotel in the early 20th century and were only recently demolished as they appear on the 1995 Ordnance Survey Maps. Consequently this survey was targetted on the remaining building - the hotel. The survey of the fabric of the building revealed that the internal layout of the hotel has changed significantly since its construction in the mid 19th century. Significant changes to the structure took place in the late 19th century, c.1913, c.1927 and in the mid 1950s. The standing building survey, combined with cartographic and photographic evidence, has helped to pinpoint the dates of these alterations. Evidence of an earlier, much smaller building, reputedly built around 1854 was also noted within the current roof structure and first floor corridor. Background research was undertaken at Suffolk Archives in Ipswich where crucial documents including architects plans, maps and advertisements were found. A number of photographs and postcards which were on display in the hotel also provided fascinating images of the hotel and the facilities it once offered. Although there are some existing documents and information relating to the hotel, this is the first known survey to comprise a full descriptive report and analysis of the building(s) and materials used in their construction. This information includes details of the ancillary buildings which are now lost but are essential to understanding the hotel's history and development.
