Interesting pictures, Kev. I certainly would not have liked to have worked with all that tobacco dust in the air!

The Liner Hotel maybe?

Yes.
It used to be the Gladstone Hotel.

They also had the Concert Hall over the road.
Now flats called Trafalgar House.

Thanks for these Kev. A really fascinating set of drawings and photos. Nice to see in the background of the tobacco factory a drawing of St Simon's Church, Gloucester St. Not seen this one before. The church was originally built for those Jews who had converted to Christianity.

Yes.

Yes, I think it started life as the Crest Hotel too.
