This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1970, features the exterior of The Pack Horse Hotel located on Thames Street in Staines, Surrey. The archival image documents the hotel’s traditional architectural blend of solid red brickwork on the ground floor and decorative black-and-white timber framing on the upper level. A prominent hanging sign identifies the establishment as an “Anchor Hotel,” featuring a gold anchor on a dark background. The building’s prestige during the early 1970s is highlighted by the visible yellow AA (Automobile Association) and blue RAC (Royal Automobile Club) membership plaques mounted near the main entrance. Architectural details include white-trimmed windows with flower boxes, a small “Windjammer Bar” sign above a side door, and tall, ornate brick chimneys. Now known as the Thames Lodge, this factual record preserves the original branding and historic roadside character of the hotel in 1970.
