The remains of the New Romney wing* By September 1990, all recognisable traces of the Motel had gone. A sad day indeed...
I visited the site in 1999 on an appropriately sombre day in terms of weather, and took some video and still photographs. The quality of the stills from the video is not very good, but gives a good impression.
