Summary

Description
English: View of the Queen's & North Western Hotel viewed from Stephenson Place showing the General Enquiry Offices at the front by the main entrance in 1885. The building to the right of the gates was the LNWR's General Enquiry Office operated by H Gaze & Sons. Due to the lack of space at the new station the hotel had to be built on the land designated for the station building and was originally referred to as the Grand Central Hotel. As with the station it was designed by J W Livock. In June 1872, the hotel name was changed to the North Western (Queen's) Hotel in response to a threat of new hotel being built opposite adopting the LNWR name. This hotel eventually adopted the name the Midland Hotel although it had no association with the Midland Railway. Soon afterwards the LNWR hotel adopted the name the Queen's & North Western Hotel which it carried until 1928 when it was changed to its original and simpler name of the Queen's Hotel.
