Festival Of Empire and the Paxton Arms Hotel.

[mcleanmuir]

The Paxton Arms Hotel played host to the Indian contingent who set up their part in the exhibition. They stayed for a total of 6 weeks in the Hotel. When they left they presented the landlandy with an ivory thermometer as a leaving gift.

Here is an image of the gift http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/festivalofempire.jpg
