Was February 1971 the date of demolition of the Royal Hotel (see https://heritage.hamiltonlibraries.co.nz/objects/7696/royal-hotel-being-demolished and https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/5996227/Long-time-pubs-squeezed-by-development), or did it still look like this in 1978?

Hi John, thanks for your comment. We haven't been able to find a date of demolition for the Royal Hotel, however the Waikato Times on July 1970 reports that a contract had been let that week for the construction of a new tavern behind the Royal Hotel. In a February 27th 1971 report, work was under way on the new building and it appears the Royal had already been demolished.
