The first hotel is the Grand Pump Room Hotel, with examples of their envelopes from 1893 and 1897.
York House Hotel was previously a Coaching Inn (more on this later). This envelope is from 1898.
The Empire Hotel (postcard sent in 1910) was described as a "monstrosity and an unbelievable piece of pompous architecture" by Pevsner.
