crookedspire Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Grand Hotel, Iv recently seen some inside photos of the main staircase it was stunning. What were they thinking destroying this fine building and been replaced by that eyesore, the building would have improved the street scene no end?

Hope your well, be on holiday in London. Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
