Written by Ryan, on behalf of Royston Scaffolding
Following our article on Royston’s blue plaques last month, we’re publishing a selection of plaques in each issue. For June, we have focused on the Melbourn Street, Royston:
The Banyers Hotel
18th Century Home of Rev. Edward Bnyer, vicar of Royston 1739-1752
Royston Cave
Marked by the grille in the pavement below
Royston Town Hall
Erected 1855 as the Royston Institute on the site of a turnpike toll-house
Stadtepartnerschaft
Commemorating the town twinning between Royston and Grossalmerode 1974-2014
With thanks to Ryan’s research.
You can read a detailed history behind each of the blue plaques in F John Smith’s book “The Blue Plaques of Royston”, published by Royston and District Local History Society, which is available to borrow from Royston Library
