It would be lovely to see the upper floors of the Lord Salisbury Hotel. I've heard about the 'ballroom' but have never seen it.

Many years ago, I wondered in when the first floor (which includes the ballroom)was being used as a Church. So I’ve been lucky enough to see it. the upper floors were all original bedrooms.
At around the same time as my visit, I came across an estate agent’s website which was marketing that first floor. I made this crude virtual tour out of those images (which are themselves long gone?)?.

The amount of light from the windows, the ornate door surrounds, the height of the ceilings, and the ceiling and lighting: such beauty.
Reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi ie. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone…Wonder if we’ll ever learn…
