The line drawing shows Gomersall Terrace as it looked around 1900, forming a row of boarding houses along Lumley Road from Drummond Road tp Beresford Avenue.
The photograph, by Mr H Wilkinson, shows the contrast today with single-storey shops extending from the building for the entire length. Only the corner section, now the Marine Hotel, is still used for holiday accommodation.
The rest of the rooms are flats reached from Arcadia Road at the rear, a club and stores and offices connected with the shops.
Extra attic windows have appeared in the roof and only a few, on the right, retain their original form. Most of the first floor windows on Lumley Road have also disappeared.
