Description: | c1970s. Sandblasting the Royal Hotel in Morley Bottoms early in the 1970s in order to clean up the facade. At this time the hotel would be just over a hundred years old since it had been fairly recently opened when disaster struck at Morley Main Colliery in October 1872 and 34 colliers were killed. The hotel had to be commissioned as a mortuary and post mortems on these miners were conducted at the Royal. In more recent times since this picture was taken the Royal has expanded into the rooms of some of the shops next door.
