The Royal Clifton Hotel’s owner Tim Timmerman, right, and general manager Stephen Hopkins with The Clifton Hotel’s flag – part of a new collection of artefacts from The Promenade establishment’s past
THE history of Southport’s oldest hotel on The Promenade is being honoured with the creation of a permanent display of artefacts.
The growing collection takes pride of place in the lobby of The Royal Clifton Hotel, which was created in 1977 with the amalgamation of the long-standing neighbouring hotels, The Clifton and The Royal.
Already, hotel owner Tim Timmerman has collected items, including The Clifton’s flag, which probably dates from the 1950s, and a range of menus from the 1930s and serviette rings.
The move to create the display followed a meeting between Mr Timmerman and members of the Archer family, the original owners of The Clifton from 1906 to 1977.
