In 2000, I stayed a night or two at the hotel
behind the red bus in the picture. The story
told that the arch was moved to its present
location because Queen Victoria's new coach
wouldn't fit thru the opening. Actually, I
never got to see from this side. My stay was
very short. Thanks for the nice pic!
