The Midland had its own water supply, a well IIRC, I wonder if its still used?

I am trying to find any records of workers around the time of 1927,
My late mother was
Place into a convent and later was put into care of a gentleman who was working at the Midland hotel,
I would suspect she worked in the Laundry dept
Thank you

When this hotel was first built it would have had a much more open aspect on the Navigation Street side. (See drawing in post #30). That would explain the impressive features of the building and the large stone Midland Hotel sign still visible on that side today. Over time the street has become more enclosed but there are still tell-tale features of its former use as a key hotel entrance from New Street Station. Viv.

That is how I remember it in the 1970s, so probably a bit after the old station was demolished
