The Royal Hotel,(Now Bay Royal Hotel) Whitby, Yorkshire, UK as it looked soon after being built in Victorian times by George Hudson the 'Railway King'. Hudson was also responsible for the new pass from the pier to the West Cliff which is named Khyber Pass after the strategic pass known from the Afghan wars. Hudson also (half) built Royal Crescent nearby which is unfinished due to him running out of money. Bram Stoker, author of Dracula once stayed at the hotel.
