Well done Jaywit,

I think you're right, I was trying to work out what word could end in "A". Still no nearer to the hotel name though! Doh :-[

Was there ever a Wicker Place in Sheffield? Just a thought on the street sign.

There is a Station Hotel on The Wicker, it's not the one we're looking for, but could it have been built in the place of one destroyed in WW2?
