FAMOUS HOTEL TO GO
GOO-YEAR HOST El .TRY One of the most famous hotels on the main London-East Coast road, the 000-year-old Angel at Kelvedon, Essex, England, is to be demolished to make way for an up-to-date building. The Angel is known to thousands of motorists. It stands on the S bend on the William side of . the village. 'Royalty often stayed at the Angel in olden days, on the way to or from Harwich or Norwich. Among them was William 111. During the (Napoleonic wars, too. the Prince 'Regent, with the Dukes of Cumberland. Cambridge and York, stopped there several times. One room in the hotel is known a.s ‘‘Gallows Room.” There is a fourteenth century oak arch and a King post in it. Roman pottery, coins, old inn tokens and an old sword have been unearthed during recent digging foundations of the new hotel which has arisen on the site of the old Angel Coach Yard. The pottery strengthens Kelvcdon’s claims to have been the old Roman settlement of Canonium. It is about ten miles from- the Roman centre of Colchester.
