Royal Hotel, Tring Station

Tring Station, which lies some 2 miles from the Town Centre, has given its name to the small community that has grown up there since the coming of the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837. The Royal Hotel was opened by John Brown, proprietor of the Tring Brewery and of a handful of public houses in the area to provide food, drink, accommodation and horse transport for passengers using the adjacent railway station. The hotel was originally named the Harcourt Arms after the then owner of nearby Pendley Manor, the Comte d'Harcourt. Alas, the Hotel has gone the way of the original Tring Brewery (although we do have a modern 'micro-brewery' of that name) and has ceased to function as such; it is now flats, but it must be said that the conversion has been sensitively carried out and the Hotel remains an attractive period-piece.
