Postcard Poser – December
Can you guess the location of this month’s postcard poser? Seasonally-themed (but not in the obvious way), this one is also tricky for a major reason which I’m sure you clever lot will take no time to point out!
For those who are new to this feature on our blog, every month we share a postcard-style photo taken somewhere in the UK. It could be a particular property, a famous landmark, or just a view of the town centre. All you have to do is tell us where the photo was taken in the comments section below.
Is the seasonal ‘Snow Hill ‘ by chance ? in which case, know this one !!
St. Pancras Railway Station
It’s a guess but I think it’s the Great Western Hotel in Birmingham which is now the Snow Hill station??
Would that be the Great Western Royal Hotel Paddington?
Hotel built in 1863 at Snow Hill, Birmingham for Great Western Railway. Seasonal Name?!
I think its Snow Hill Railway Station in Birmingham, now very different.
Birmingham Snow Hill Station
Great Western Railway Hotel & Snow Hill Station in Birmingham.
It is the original Snow Hill Station facade sadly demolished in 1977

Snow Hill Station Birmingham. It was demolished and replaced and It is now the second most important railway station in the city, after Birmingham New Street station.

Great Western Railway Hotel and Snow Hill station entrance, Birmingham. Sadly, now demolished. Presumably the Snow Hill reference is the seasonal part!
