The Queens Hotel in
Victorian times in all its glory, directly behind the boat in the
foreground. This was renamed The Metropol Hotel which was the last
name this building would acquire before its demolition a couple of years
ago. The Queens Hotel is on the front white upper wall as well as on the side wall in the picture. As a comparison look at the replacement apartments/shops today. |

This is the whole picture of The Esplanade. | |
A view from The Pier. The large Hotel on the left {where The Mill Bay now has its outside area and conservatory} is The Esplanade Hotel. The original Mill Bay building adjacent has not changed much although when the picture was taken it was called Corbould {with magnification}, and the very tall building behind The Esplanade Hotel is still there to this day. |
