The Royal George whose host was A. (Albert) Bunn as recorded in the 1901 and 1911 Census; it is presumed that the Royal George\u00a0 lost the front railings in the First World War.Even today the building still exists, more as a &#8216;pub with good grub&#8217;; than a &#8216;commercial hotel&#8217;. Peter Appleton has assisted with further information regarding Albert Bunn: &#8220;Alfred Bunn was born at Abington, Cambridgeshire in 1850. He married Hannah Ord at Middlesbrough Register Office in 1878. He was a Coachman in Domestic service, living at 15 Stanhope Street, Saltburn in 1891. This is just round the corner from the Queen Hotel. Was he the hotel\u2019s coachman, I wonder? By 1897 he was landlord of the Royal George and was elected a member of \u201cSkelton Felons\u201d (or Skelton Association for the Prosecution of Felons to give it its full title) in that year. In 1910 he was elected to the management committee of \u201cthe Felons\u201d and is last mentioned in the Minute Book of the Association in 1915. He died in March 1917.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Peter Appleton and many thanks to Peter for the update.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>Still a familiar view of North Terrace, Skelton; this postcard view dates from the turn of the 2oth century.
