The intertwined initials of the Midland Railway on this lion and scroll piece of the Midland Hotel in Manchester. The splendid terracotta work is by Burmantofts of Leeds. The hotel itself was designed by Carles Trubshaw and opened in 1903. It is listed Grade II*.

Different eras, different owners. Signs of their times at Sheffield Station. The Midland Railway Wyvern is, in my opinion, the more attractive symbol, but the BR double-arrow was/is a most effective and memorable logo. I was interested to see that the newer logo had been placed in a position directly in front of the older one.
