ON THE CORNER # 1
The Grosvenor Temperance Hotel (no alcohol) stood on a corner of Bodfor Street and Kinmel Street; the advert above is dated c.1902. The colour picture captures the same corner photographed recently showing Thomas Estates 36-38 Bodfor Street on the ground floor. Both pictures are from George Owen.

This 1913 advert for Empire Temperance Hotel & Restaurant suggests a change of name for the Grosvenor Temperance Hotel rather than the existence of a completely different business.
