Long haired singer/songwriter running the Kelvin Grove in 1871 ? He was the first artist signed to the Beatles Apple label, had drug problems, still performing (now bald), he's seen Fire and he's seen Rain this man. At times like this it's good to know "You've Got a Friend" lol

Struggling with this at present. Just back (20 minutes ago) from four days away; I've forgotten everything I ever knew !

What year (approx.) were you using this Hotel, did the spouse know ? <He said distracting the fact he can't remember a thing about Sheffield AT ALL>

Walter Hattersley, 2 Exchange Street, Alexandra Hotel (1951 and thereabouts)

Does that ring any bells ?

Difficult to find because it was operating under a "Hotel License", one of only 9 such premises in 1951
