Description:A rear view of the Alexandra Hotel which fronted Greengate Street, on the corner of Tipping Street, Stafford. The hotel closed around 1961, and this photograph was taken during its demolition. The site is currently (2025) occupied by 'Superdrug'. The Alexandra Hotel was originally built in the late eighteenth century as a town house and business premises for Thomas Lovett, a wine merchant. The building became a public house in the nineteenth century, known as Lloyd's Wine Vaults, and in 1899 it was purchased by Eley's Brewery of Stafford. In 1903 the hotel was bought by William Cummins and renamed after Edward VII's queen.
