The Collingwood Hotel
Drawing and text by kind permission of Jim Bates.

 Named probably after Nelson’s Second in Command at Trafalgar and began life as a terrace of four villas.

The first major alterations took place in 1886 when W H Gould became its proprietor.

An advertisement in the 1920’s describes the Collingwood as a "First Class Old Established Private Hotel" with 120 bedrooms, spacious dining, drawing, smoking and recreation rooms, billiards, electric lift and electric lighting.
