Mystery Hotel 1912 ????????

[tomkin]

 On the back of the photograph of the hotel is written
   Charles Buxton (family) 1912.

     Can you see the boot scraper at the left hand side of the doorway?

P.s.  Two known addresses seem to be Carver St. & Paradise Sq.

I can't help but think that £40 spent using the Access to Information Act to access the 1911 census would be money well spent!      

The person-hours devoted to this bleedin' photo must have run into the thousands already!

They should lock us all up!

I can't help but notice that 'Dawdie', who posted the original thread on the Sheffield Forum, last posted on the thread in October 2006 ... although she posted on other threads in January of this year.

KInd of makes me want to find the place ... then not tell her! 

PS

They threw the key away years ago, Annie!

Ninatoo -

I think that 'A' is a passageway into a hall.  If it's a railway station, then it looks like they might be illuminated posters.

But of course, there's a shop on the corner.  Maybe it's an arcade, and they are windows in the back of the shop?

As for 'B' - that looks like a door to me.

cheers

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

The station near the Wicker is the Victoria station wheras the Midland Station is and always has been on Pond street - I believe it was originally known as the Pond st station.
