The historic Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter, Devon, is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1970. The archival image showcases the hotel’s elegant white Georgian facade overlooking the greenery of Cathedral Close. A variety of period vehicles are parked along the cobbles. To the right of the hotel, the striking half-timbered architecture of the Well House Tavern and the “Colsons of Exeter” department store building are visible, along with a “SALE” banner flying from a rooftop. Pigeons gather on the lawn in the foreground near a stone monument, while pedestrians in typical early 1970s attire walk along the perimeter path. This factual record preserves the serene, historic character of Exeter’s city centre, documenting the site of England’s first establishment to be termed a ‘hotel’ decades before the devastating fire of 2016.
