Travellers Rest Hotel
 Thorpdale
Saturday 18th March 2023
Lunch 12.30pm



The Travellers Rest Hotel was established in 1908, and passed through four generations of ownership until 2016.
The building that we see today was built in 1937 at a time of peak farming activity in Thorpdale.
Located a stones throw from the old Thorpdale Railway station, the hotel was designed to cater for local needs and an increasing
amount of road traffic at 'this hitherto unknown beauty spot'.

Originally founded as a hotel and a general store, the business is now transitioning to becoming an iconic destination for
locals and travellers to this region.

Blame the organiser.

And that would be you, yes?   :grin

Actually, I should be blaming the women, if it wasn't for them wanting the original dates changed, we would have been able to attend!    :p  :grin

Yes, I know, I'm playing with fire...but, I do like to live dangerously!  :nahnah
