Hi Annie

I've had a quick look, but although there's no link on this email it still appears to be super-wide. I'll get my pal to come around and show me what to do, I'm a bit of a techno-phobe and hopeless at reading "destructions".

Hi there all,
The mention previously about The Station Hotel being the Victoria is current, in c1900 the Station Hotel was on The Wicker, just at the side of the Wicker Arches, the current Victoria was at the back.
all gone now road redevelopment, but I will look for some stuff on the web.

I thought there might be some building at the side of Victoria Station but the gradient is quite steep on most sides with the river on one side. Been in local studies this after, looked at loads of pubs and the buildings around Leopold St and Fargate.

Also looked in the books further afield Rotherham, Doncaster, Chesterfield, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester still cant find it. Each city had similar styled buildings though of that age, but Leeds and Manchester buildings were too big though. Huh

I think the "flower" is a Fleur de Lys the Prince of Wales feathers. The sign over the door clearly says hotel. Could it be the Prince of Wales Hotel?

Sheffield has a Prince of Wales Rd, Maybe there used to be a hotel of the same name on it? The Sheffield Family History would probably know.

Well, there's a Prince of Wales pub in Sheffield, and it must get the prize for the longest website address in history!

[url]http://www.princeofwaleshotelandrestaurantrenishawsheffield.co.uk/[/url]

Wouldn't want to have to type that after too many vodkas!

However, the photos are all interior shots. Sad

cheers

I tried the link but it's coming up blank.

Nothing new for me though. I'll Google search it.

Had a look through these old postcard images, but didn't see the building in any shots, although, my eyes would have missed the "in the distance" bldgs....
http://www.hedgerow.co.uk/images.php?class=nostalgic&cat=spc
Maybe we should ask if anyone on this site has seen that building in their photo files... Wink

Also...& Maybe a dumb question...but ...I see names like this:
Station Hotel ( url no longer works, natch) - Website for the Station Hotel pub located in Treeton, Sheffield. or another says Renishaw, Sheffield....so if these are little outbranches of old towns absorbed by the city ( I have no idea what it means here, but that's how it is done in our city) Could there be a Buxton, Sheffield area?

Hi JJ

Its the Prince of Wales Feathers carved in the plaque. You can make out the shadows below each feather and there'd be a pin, or as in the link below, a crown holding the feathers and they splay out below hence the apparent symmetry below.
