Mystery Hotel 1912 ????????

[Ninatoo]

Here is a lightened close up of the doorway on the lower left of the building.  You can see there is only one doorway, with a tiny window to the left, and a larger window to the left of that.  I don't know anything about railway hotels....does it still look like this could be a ticket office?

if someone could find where Charles Buxton was living in 1912 that
may give the name of the hotel.

Hey Paul done a little looking up on that photo.  It is looking down from the direction of Arundle Gate to the Station, down hill, the hotel at the bottom will definately be the Midland Hotel looking from the end of the building.

Too many floors. Hm.....

Does anyone else think that the shop on the left might be a WH Smiths?

Yes, it's the same map, just zoned on The Wicker (North North East of the City), whereas the current Midland Station and Sheaf Street/Pond Street are in the east of the city
