Smith, W. S., c. 1904, Photograph, B 9016
Ramsgate Hotel at Henley Beach was established in approximately 1898. Mrs J.R. Opie was the proprietor until her death in October 1904, when it was taken over by Mrs Angela Alexander, who was proprietor at the time this photograph was taken. Colourful flags hang from the first storey balconies. A group of young men in boaters, possibly students, is standing outside the hotel. A horse drawn carriage and a motor car stand in the background. Possibly a sailing race is taking place.
