Bus passengers looking out from the glass-walled waiting areas of the new bus station can't help but notice The Midland Hotel. It was built in 1805 as an lunatic asylum for men with high walls around it. It was known as Broom House until The Midland Railway Company purchased it in 1862 and when it converted it into a hotel. It is now a function venue and public house. The railway station's main entrance and booking office lies behind it, as does the busy A6009.
