In construction on the site of the Western Hotel in 1988

And St Mary's Church Tower in Chapel Street

For quite a while this was the way things looked at the bottom of Clarence Street. The building of the Branwell House on the site of the old Western Hotel.

Now the home of the Department of Works and Pensions. This picture shows the plot at the bottom old Clarence Street in the late 1980's. For those of you who don't remember, the Western Hotel stood here once.
