Another variation of the Jacobean/Dutch style used by
the Victorians in their Railway stations.

H A Hunt, railway architect, I have found this long URL to search.staffspastrak.org.uk Now to see what Stoke railway station looks like.
Moderator Comment: URL modified, as it was 'stretching' the screen

Hi all....
Apparently HA Hunt was in partnership as Hunt and Stephenson.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01i9/
They designed The Workhouse of the Joint Parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster. There are some diagrams on that link but no pictures yet unfortunately.
Do you think it could have been a very posh workhouse??
EDIT....MEANT TO SAY AN EX WORKHOUS MADE INTO A HOTEL (will check history of it)

H A HUNT is also in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography... Not sure if this link will work without membership of a library ...but he lived 1810-1889 and worked a lot in London/Westminster
http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/50186?docPos=15
It tells you all about him but doesn't mention any hotels specifically unfortunately.

I tested it and the link does not work unless you have access to an online library and are logged in..so...here's a short quote from the page about his station work
"In his private practice, operating from offices in Parliament Street, Westminster, Hunt was closely involved in railway development from its earliest stages; on the north Staffordshire line he even designed stations, including the Jacobean-style Stoke-on-Trent Station and hotel; he also constructed Allsopp's gigantic brewery at Burton upon Trent. He was extensively engaged on the London, Brighton, and South Coast, Eastern Counties, District, and Metropolitan railways."

So possibly not designed by our HA Hunt then as he favoured "Jacobean Style"

Was over in UK in june/july. Was reminded of this because of the floods and the wicker area in sheffield was one of those affected.
The hotel probably wasn't there but it did remind me of the 'quest'
