The Crescent Hotel

Back

In the hotel was a small boutique selling luxury goods whilst the Annexe had a hairdressing salon and an Aden Airways booking office off the lobby.

A familiar site around the hotel in the 50's was this young gazelle who would eat cigarettes supplied by the tourists.

" I was stationed at the RAF Hospital Steamer Point and with APL in 1955/56. Two of us used to go on Sunday evenings, when we are not on duty, to the roof of the Crescent Hotel for the weekly Sunday evening concert. Our favourite drink was rum and coke as it was cheaper than beer !! "             Fred Caroe
