EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quaint town of Maidenhead, nestled along the picturesque Thames River, lies the notorious Skindles Hotel, a place of leisure and entertainment that drew a colorful crowd in the early 20th century. Among its many visitors was Uncle Fred, the charming and scandalous uncle of Eve, the beloved gossip columnist for The Tatler magazine. In this photograph from 1917, Uncle Fred can be seen enjoying a lively evening at Skindles, surrounded by the hotel's opulent decor and the lively chatter of officers and gentlemen. The hotel, known for its lavish parties, was a favorite haunt for those seeking a respite from the rigors of daily life. Skindles had a reputation for its raucous behavior and scandalous goings-on, making it a place of intrigue and fascination for those in the know. The hotel's proximity to the nearby military barracks no doubt contributed to its popularity among the armed forces. Despite the hotel's notorious reputation, it remained a beloved destination for those seeking a night of fun and relaxation. Uncle Fred, with his mischievous grin and dapper attire, seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself, a testament to the allure of Skindles and the memories it holds for generations past.
