Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel is a luxury hotel in Southsea, Hampshire built in 1903, and still in use today. Although the frontage of the hotel looks very impressive, if you walk round to the side you can see that his once splendid facade looks very neglected. I think it's very photogenic though..!!

Best viewed large for detail. Thank you.

A great façade here my friend. As you say, many of these fronts disguise the surrounding areas of the same building. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Thanks very much Herb.........I'm glad you like it. I spotted this completely unexpectedly as I was only in that road looking for some street art!

It may be neglected, but it is still intact and still rather attractive with a style from the mid 1800s I would guess, if that is correct it has stood the test of time well,
A lovely capture with some excellent detail and the figures above the door are especially nice!
Well found and nicely presented, Keith.

Thanks Roger...........I was quite surprised to see it in this condition.........all it needs is a really good clean I suspect! The hotel was built in 1903.

Glad you like the photo and thanks for your interesting comments.
