The hotel building shown in this photograph was the third on the site since 1851. It was built in 1916 as a replacement for the first Royal Hotel. The Royal Hotel was established in 1870 after the first hotel , the Robin Hood Hotel was destroyed in the Great Fire of Lyttelton in 1870. The demolition is being completed with a digger pulling the brick walls into the cleared internal area of the building.
