EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Motorist's Haven: Ailesbury Arms Hotel, Marlborough, Wiltshire, 1903" This evocative photograph captures the Ailesbury Arms Hotel in Marlborough, Wiltshire, as it stood in 1903, a time when the automobile was rapidly gaining popularity and transforming the way people traveled. The image, now known as "Ailesbury Arms Hotel (now Ailesbury Court), Marlborough, Wiltshire (on the A4)," showcases the hotel's distinctive red-brick facade adorned with ivy, its large windows, and the inviting canopy over the entrance. What sets this establishment apart is the prominent sign on the side of the building, which proudly announces, "By Appointment Hotel for Automobile Club - First Class Accommodation for Motors." This sign speaks to the hotel's recognition of the burgeoning automobile trend and its commitment to catering to the unique needs of motorists. The Motor Volunteers, a group of enthusiastic men in suits and bowlers, are gathered in front of the hotel, their cars parked nearby. Their presence underscores the significance of the automobile in this era and the role that accommodations like the Ailesbury Arms played in facilitating the growing culture of motoring. As the first class accommodation for the Automobile Club, the Ailesbury Arms Hotel offered weary travelers a place to rest, refuel, and repair their vehicles, making it an essential stop along the A4. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of transportation history and hospitality in the early days of motoring.
