Central Hotel showing the re-fronting that took place in the mid 1980's.

 

I'm afraid that this wasn't originally listed in Barry Smith's research as it was more a hotel than an Inn.

 

The number 50 Biggin Street was also the "Three Tuns" and later the "Evening Star." It is unknown as yet when the premises was converted into the hotel, but it was certainly after 1896 as street widening demolished many houses in this area that year including what was previously here, I believe it to be the former "Lord Raglan".
