The reason I posted this book : The Origin of Watson's Hotel : But the fifties soon receded into shade. The share speculation period brought large influx of foreigners in the city. There was the first Italian Ballet Company. There was the troupe Dave Carson, the great humorist, besides other theatrical companies. All wanted accommodation. So the demand for hotels sprang up and in the sixties there were half-a-dozen small hotels. But at the eventful hour old Mr. Watson, who had his shop at the south-west corner of Churchgate Street as a silk mercer, draper, hosier, etc., and had amassed a large fortune in his trade, and who was a man of great enterprise besides, conceived the happy idea of establishing an hotel of first-class reputation, on the model of the most well-equipped and well-managed caravanserais then springing up in the West End of London.
