/*Aug 1857 Cowes - Our hotel and lodgings houses are full and will continue most probably for the short term, but the ' good old times' when beds were a guinea per night will never again return*/ I was quite intrigued by the above statement - beds a guinea per night....in 1857?? Surely that was very, very expensive? I remember in the early 70s (1970s, that is, in case anyone wonders!) staying in (admittedly cheap) b&bs in Brighton, which were 10/- to a pound for a night, depending on quality. But in my 1962 Hampstead directory, the Clive Hall Hotel advertised bed and breakfast from 21/-. That's about a 100 years later, and you can still get a bed for a guinea a night even in upmarket Hampstead! Linda >
