What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: The Angel Hotel This harbourside hotel is a long-standing local landmark. In 1893, it was described as an 'old established commercial inn'. In 1823, 'the Angel' was 'a posting and commercial house', run by William Yeoman. The Royal Mail coach to York left Yeoman's inn every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. The mail coach had operated from 'the Angel', since its inception, in 1795. The Union coach (to Sutherland) and the Diligence (to Scarborough) also operated from 'the Angel'. These premises were refurbished by J.D. Wetherspoon in March 2013.
The Angel Hotel has served as a crucial posting and commercial inn since 1795, operating as a departure point for the Royal Mail coach to York and other significant coaches, making it a vital historical landmark in local transportation history.
