Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1912

Looking towards the Queen's Hotel on the right from the West end of Stephenson Street showing the new 1917 built main frontage. The new frontage replaced the original 1854 West wing and included a new West wing built on the site used by the stone masons yard. The original centre section of the hotel can be seen to the left of the left hand tower. The new frontage contained a new hotel entrance complete with a canopy and carrying the shorter title of Queen's whilst the 1854 centre section still retained the full legend of Queen's and North Western Hotel. A LNWR horse-drawn parcels delivery van can be seen standing in front of the hotel with a LNWR motor parcels delivery van standing just behind it. The original railings that once stood in front of the hotel are now removed and the hotel's access road is now incorporated in to Stephenson Street. C1924
