Location	New Street
1964 Status	Complete
2014 Status	Extant
Name	Marshall and Snelgrove/Britannia Hotel

Opened in 1956, the replacement for Marshall and Snelgrove's bomb damaged department store dominated New Street.  Like many such stores, business eventually fizzled out and, by 2014, the upper storeys had been occupied by the Britannia Hotel for many years.
