This charming illustration of the Midland Hotel’s handsome facade is by Manchester-based artist Andrea Joseph. With beautiful simplicity, Joseph captures the character of this Grade II listed building with its famous Manchester redbrick.
A perfect example of Edwardian Baroque architecture, the Midland Hotel was voted the second-favourite building by the readers of the Manchester Evening News in 2012.
The Midland Hotel has had a number of distinguished guests in its 119 year lifetime. In 1959 Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother dined at The Midland after attending a Royal Variety Performance at the Palace Theatre and in the 60s The Beatles were famously refused access to the dining room because they were not appropriately dressed!
Andrea Joseph is an award winning illustrator from South Wales. She is self taught and based in Manchester and Derbyshire.
