Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1852

View of the Queens and North Western Hotel showing the enlarged wings and private access road to the front of the building. Whilst noted on the card and within the station confines as being the Queen's Hotel its full name, which can just be seen above the third floor windows, included a reference to the railway company too. The hotel has been extended by the addition of three floors to the wing on the left and by one floor to the wing on the right. The hotel is flying the Union Flag on the left whilst on the right the White Ensign as used by the Royal Navy is being flown. Richard Foster's copy of the above postcard which was sold by the hotel is dated 30th Oct 1904 and was used by a guest of the hotel to confirm to his family of his safe arrival.
