Denn, is that photo of the coat of arms you have overlain on the original an enhancement of the original, or is it an altered Sheffield Coat of Arms from another source (for comparison's sake)?
Nina
It was a coat of arms from another sourse that I adjusted both colour and perspective to get as close as possible to the pic'

Looking at that last pic' I reckon we can leave out the Royal Vic' Sheffield. Mind you that doesn't rule out Sheffield as a location - there ar elots of fine buildings in Sheffield that would be similar to this one: Mind you, that could be said of many cities. Maybe we should be looking at what other info' is available other than the pic'

That's the Pawson & Brailsford Building on the left, which is still standing. Here's another view: http://www.picturesheffield.com/jpgh/s04520.jpg. Too many floors for our mystery building I think, and the gables aren't Dutch enough

To the eye of faith...could the 3 'blobs' at the top of the crest be the tops of three feathers ?! The Sheffield pub books say there were 15 'Prince of Wales' pubs in Sheffield at one time.

There's a link to Sheffield pubs.
I've waded through some of them including all the ones that have "Railway" at the start, I've also gone through the "A's". There are old and new photo's, if it is a Sheffield pub that's not been demolished it may be shown on there.

Hope it helps.

Hi Sue,
Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open. I've a particular interest in Sheffield anyway. Sorry that the very long link I posted seems to have distorted the page. I'm new to this, learning as I go along. Unfortunately the kids are off school this week (half term) and since I've found this website I keep forgetting to feed them etc. They've never got away with watching so much junk on TV. I've only just remembered to start cooking the evening meal. Whoops!

I'm still wondering who has the original...as a better scan would help incredibly...
anyone who's brought it in to work on knows it's the smallest of the small for web
viewing only ...Can't we ask for a good shot of things so that you can solve it sooner...? 
There are wonderful ornate window decorations...either wrought iron or beveled
cut glass with leaded separations...
The crest seems to have a three point base...enlarged to show shadows it almost
has a floral appearance, as I see eight protrusions in all...although this is likely just
pixels fooling me...it may be a scroll at top and bottom.
