BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Royal Sandrock Hotel was known locally as “the Sandrock”. It's name evolved over its life as an hotel from the Sand Rock Spring Hotel, the Sandrock Hotel (the name by which it was known to Queen Victoria), the Royal Sandrock Hotel and finally the Royal Sandrock Inn. The property was acquired by two brewers from Newport, James Cull and John Abraham, who it is said recognised the commercial potential of its location and converted it for use as an hotel. Additional wings were added in 1812. The impetus for the conversion of the Sandrock into a hotel was the discovery in 1808 of a chalybeate spring by a Newport surgeon, Thomas Waterworth. The Sandrock was fatally damaged by a fire on 1st October, 1984, in circumstances that have caused much local debate. It was demolished and the Undercliff lost its favourite place of entertainment.
