godsons_hotelGodson's HotelWe moved on to our next stop, Godson's Hotel (now dental clinics and solicitors offices). The owner of this Hotel went bankrupt. At that time there was no street leading down past the Post Office and any visitors to the town automatically went first to Kearney's Hotel (town centre).
