WEATHERFORD - Key Persons

Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is a fantastic locked-room mystery in a setting that I can't help but imagine looks a lot like the Weatherford, despite taking place on an island of the coast of Devon in the UK. You can probably find this one lying around at any grandma's house, and if not, any other Christie book will do.

Henry Taylor, the current owner, purchased the hotel in 1975 along with his brother Lloyd, with the two hoping to save the historic building from demolition. Since 1980, Henry and his wife Pamela (Sam) Green have completed a long string of renovations, with a goal of restoring it to its original grandeur. In 1978 and 1981, Charly's Restaurant and Charly's Pub opened on the first floor on the site of the original lobby, and some hotel rooms. At the same time, the upper floors operated as a youth hostel.
