County archives might be the place to start looking for a photo:

Hi,

In the late 1880's, there were 2 temperance hotels on London Road Derby:-

Alliance
 and Peach's

In the 1900's Derby Daily Telegraph there is mention of:-

SMITH'S TEMPERANCE HOTEL, 137, LONDON ROAD, DERBY.

So you need to give an indication of the year/s you are interested and if possible a family name.

Hi, the person was Sarah Jane E Wood, 1911 census states she was servant at 116 London Road Derby, Temperance Hotel, that is all that is in the record. I was interested in viewing a picture of what kind of hotel this was and what it looked like in those days.

Thanks spendlove..

I believe the hotel at No 116 was "The Carlton Commercial Temperance Hotel"

John I believe a murder took place at the Carlton Hotel in the early 1900's also the salvation army had the premises next door..........
