TEMPERANCE HOTEL
or COMMERCIAL HOTEL
or NEWMARKET HOTEL


Location:- Corner of Market Street and Albion Street, to the east of the entrance to Primrose Cottage Stables

Owner:-







Temperance Hotels started around 1883. This must have been one of the first Temperance Hotels.
Kelly's directory of 1883 had Henry Deer running a coffee and dining rooms in Market Street and BFP recorded the 5th anniversary in March 1888, and by 1891 he was proprietor of the Newmarket Temperance Hotel.
In 1904 Mrs Henry Deer put the hotel up for sale, but withdrew it at £2,300. Sold in 1910 to T Allen it became Allen's Temperance Hotel, usually followed in brackets by "late Deer's"
For many years all day Tuesday and Wednesday evenings a dentist, W Bradley, operated there.
Under Edward Langley the name used was Newmarket Temperance Hotel.
By the 1950s it was variously known as The Temperance, Newmarket Commercial Hotel and even simply Newmarket Hotel
It does appear that from starting with a small unit to the right of the entrance to Primrose Cottage Stables, over time it came to incorporate the larger unit to its right (believed to be the Eagle Inn, but that has yet to be confirmed). Certainly by the end, in the 1960's, the Newmarket Hotel was three times the frontage of the original hotel.
