Gareth Jones, who was assistant manager of the hotel in the late 1960s came across these pictures while clearing out his attic and thoughtfully got in touch with us to see if we would like to share them with our readers.
So, have a closer look and see if you recognise anyone!

Behind the reception desk in the King's Arms Hotel in 1967-68. Anna ? (receptionist), John Bell, waiter / porter, Frank Cosgrove (?) and restaurant waitress Sinead. Gareth Jones recalls that Sinead knitted superb Aran jumpers and cardigans. "My father had his for many, many years. He used it when he was working in the cellar of our pub in Wales and said it was like wearing a blanket. He wore it for so many years and was heartbroken when it eventually wore out!" said Gareth.
