Fake 50

A reprise of fake 29 (reference 1) at the Royal Wells Hotel at Tunbridge Wells. The place overlooking the hill down into town and having a large lion & unicorn flanked crest erected on the leads out front.

A very tasteful fake fire, with some kind of white stone surround, glass front, gravel base with logs on top. With the gas coming up in three or four places through the gravel giving a very fair imitation of a log fire. I imagine it is all very pretty when the lights go down.

There was also a small grand piano out in the reception area, a bit shabby and with the cover locked down with the sort of screw locks often used on sash windows, one each end of the keyboard. Rather crudely fitted, perhaps a Chubb 8013 Sash Window Bolt. So not so very grand after all.

I did not like to bother the reception for the key so that I could photograph the name of the maker, usually to be found underneath in antique gold lettering. So a no-score piano.
