The Pub across the road from where I stared work at the MOW.

Christine Banks
Such a beautiful building, would be great to see it saved and turned into something like apartments and retail/offices, etc

Anthea Keenan
Christine Banks with the stories to go with the buildings and times

Les Holmes Germanicus
What really makes this a beautiful building is its design and situation located next to Speights Alehouse. It gives the town a character.

Margaret Wilde
They will go ahead n pull it down. Like the rest of the buildings. Bloody idiots.

I guess it comes down to compliance costs, restoration costs and the land lease rates etc...likely make it cost prohibitive sadly

My brother & sister in law had that pub for a long time. Pat & Peggy Smith. Scotty Thomson was one of the bar-men. A guy called Herb boarded there & was a guard in the railways. Oh the lovely memories of this place, so please don't pull it down. Paul & Cliff Smith lived there with Pat & Peggy so I bet they can tell some stories??

I was in The Royal on the evening of 23rd May 1968. Had quite a few with visiting friends. At home at 5.25am the next morning, I was thrown out of bed by the Inangahua earthquake and, in a panic, I attempted to get out the door only to find I was in the wardrobe. Wrong door. I always remember the Royal for that reason and the date.Stephen Lee
