Cant see it but someone on Shefforum says its on the lamp.  Cant see it even when I squint.  Cant see the name of the road either but its a short name.

The H of HOTEL still looks like a K or R.......Maybe not.

There is a crest in the middle of the gable end on left.  It must say somthing on that. Huh The date of the picture 1912 does match up with Georges coronation in 1911.

Here's my fix on the sign...

I know there are some experts on Rootschat who can help date photographs by the clothes people are wearing.  I think we need their help!

cheers

When I first saw this picture, I thought Ah Ah.....it looks just like the old Queens Hotel outside New Street Station in Brum......although I know it isn't that one.....but I would be pretty sure that it is a railway hotel in a big city. I will have a Google for railway hotels.
