Great pics Ian. It's good to see a bit of local history. I haven't been able to find out anything about the Royal Exchange Hotel. It may have been in one of the outlying country towns. Was your grandfather by chance with 9 or 25 RQR? I know QMI had staghounds and white scout cars in the 50's.
Does anyone know what if 2345 is still around?
Cheers
