Description
This masterpiece spiral staircase within the Midland Hotel, in the modest seaside resort of Morecambe, Lancashire, UK, constitutes a focal point of a classic Art Deco building of the Streamline Moderne period of the late 1930s. The architect was Oliver Hill and it has been restored to its former glory in recent years.
The Neptune and Triton medallion on the ceiling was designed by the sculptor Eric Gill, and has the inscription "and hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn" from a sonnet by William Wordsworth. Other works were created by Gill for the hotel.
