Not quite so grand
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 13 Jun 2023
The former Grand Hotel on Dorning Street looking extremely down-at-heel. It has the feel of never having been quite as grand as the name may have suggested. The date 1924 on the gables probably refers to a rebuilding, maybe when the mock half-timbering was applied.
