That's The Grand Hotel in Scarborough.
To get that shot all in frame Keith was stood in the North Sea.....Honest he was... :-++
We rode past it and this thread jumped to mind we had to turn round and grab a photograph.

Here's a bit of info on the hotel


Originally constructed in 1863, it was one of Europe's first purpose-built hotels, with a design based on the concept of 'time' - 4 towers to represent the 4 seasons, 12 floors for each month, 52 chimneys for the weeks and 382 bedrooms for the days of the year. This is a beautiful example of grand Victorian architecture and completely dominates the surroundings like a true masterpiece.

It has a total of 382 comfortably furnished en-suite rooms with modern facilities. Two Restaurants a cabaret bar and cabaret ball room.

And Gavo we have much bigger castles ...... :grin

"and 382 bedrooms for the days of the year"

No wonder winter seems longer in the UK- they have 17 more days in their year!!   Wot thuh
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Great concept. It would be great if you didn't have to share the road with other (much larger) users.

I have fancied a Grinnall at times, but I would bet we couldn't register one here. http://www.grinnallcars.com/scorpion-III-sports-car.html

Off topic, sorry.
