Berkeley Castle, and Terminus Hotel
By the time of World War II, the Terminus (opposite the entrance to Temple Meads Station, presumably the same as the one listed as on Bath Parade) was a hotel with c.20 letting bedrooms. The licencee during the war was Elizabeth Hobson, who was born in Sheffield. After she was widowed, she owned various pubs. The first was the Millstone at Hathersage in Derbyshire, and then, after her daughter married and moved to Bristol, she took the Terminus Hotel. After the war, she moved to the New Inn at Coalpit Heath, and finally took the Berkeley Castle, before retiring to Weston Super Mare. Her predecessor as licencee at the Berkeley Castle, Alwyn Biggin, had married her sister, Elsie May, and she took over the licence when Alwyn and Elsie emigrated to New Zealand. |

Re: Berkeley Castle, and Terminus Hotel
Ian, Thank you very much for the information, the Terminus Hotel and Terminus Tavern were in fact different establishments, the Hotel was as you say, opposite the station, and the Tavern was near the Victoria Hotel. The Terminus Hotel is now listed on the web site. Kevin. |
