Hi, does anyone remember the Beverly Hotel? My grandmother owned it for many years.

Janice. The bus stops I'm referring to are those just short of Palmerston Road and far enough away from that corner to allow the 13 and 13a to make a right hand turn into Stoney Lane before Stoney Lane was re-routed to opposite Walford Road. I think the hotel was just before the bus stops coming out of town and, certainly the word Commercial was incorporated in the title of the hotel. The hotel was quite long and although I'm only speculating, it may be that it was formed out of two or three of the big Victorian houses that ran from Farm Road to just before Palmerston Road.

There are several references to the Beverley Hotel in the Stratford Road thread.

Lyn, I think you posted that the building was still standing and I think this is it. At least 2 houses have disappeared to allow access to the back and also extensions built onto the side and the entrance moved to the side also. Numbering on google is a bit weird.

yes i did john but then i was not sure but zooming in on this st view the house with the steps on the left clearly says its no 264 so surely 262 must still be there...unless ive missed something ?

262 was the address listed for the Beverley Hotel but it actually occupied several houses along that terrace. In the modernisation a drive round the back has been created by the knocking down of a couple of houses (at a guess 260, 258 and possibly another). 262 no longer has front steps and the door looks as if it is on the side.
The house furthest right is 268, then 266 and 264 have joint steps - on the map below 262 and 260 also had joint steps no longer there.

The 1995 planning application covered 254 to 268 Stratford Road. No documents exist online but the application is listed as change of use to 8 residential units (I assume 2 flats for each of 262 to 268 and creation of a driveway). That must be when 262 had the door moved to the side in what looks to be a new end section.
thanks jan i did wonder why there is no door to the property on the left...explains it all now
