The  "front elevation"  pic below the photo above is deffo neo Jacobean in style,

but I would propose that the photo is of a Queen Anne Revival style building....

Hence the almost Dutch style gable ends...they curve inwards as opposed to the outward Jacobean style...
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

So possibly not designed by our HA Hunt then as he favoured "Jacobean Style"  ???

Please don't do this to me again.....I have developed an almost incontrollable urge to examine architecture wherever I go..... I have a permanent crick in my neck from looking up.......I still believe that one day our mystery hotel will be discovered....one day.. ...arghhh...help

Was over in UK in june/july. Was reminded of this because of the floods and the wicker area in sheffield was one of those affected.

The hotel probably wasn't there but it did remind me of the 'quest'

I thought that maybe the floods or perhaps the Germans had 'washed' it away. I was hoping it would remain that way then I could have stopped insisting that my wife and I see the railway station in every town we visit.
Anyway I blame it all on Tony Blair.
