James Gray: In this photograph is the rear of 215 Kingsway or as it was first called, Victory House. This was built in 1897 so I do not know which Victory it was to commemorate. Later it was to become the Compton Court Hotel and finally it was converted to flats. It was said to have cost £8000 when first built.
James Gray: The building seen in this view was just around the corner in Carlisle Road, at the rear of Victory House. jgc_15_061
2018: The building is no longer there. Neither is Victory House, which has been replaced by a block of flats, Channings. Victory House was built in 1897 and later became the Compton Court Hotel before the whole block was redeveloped into flats. (Photographer: Susan Nicholls)
