The Ladbroke Dragonara Hotel on Neville Street first welcomed guests in April 1973 and was built on the site of Whitley's School Close Woollen Mills. It was restyled and refurbished thanks to a £250,000 investment to take its high standards in the 1980s. It became the Hilton International Hotel in 1988.

October 1976 and members of the 14 strong band Stylistics returned to the hotel to find that 12 rooms they were occupying on the fourth floor had been broken into. Police had a good description of the man they were seeking - he came face to face with rhythm guitarist George Overton while he was searching his room. | YPN Photo: YPN
