The Danum Hotel on the corner of Cleveland Street/High Street was built in 1908 for Planet Trading Company Ltd and designed by W H Wagstaff. It is built of Accrington brick with Empire stone dressings, a form of artificial stone. Note the slated dome on the corner with its ornamental cresting. The original elegant gilded lettering on the facades is also of interest. It has been extended twice—once, in a similar style, to add the ballroom on High St in about 1913 and again in 1939 on Cleveland St. Also it has lost all its original windows. Nevertheless, the original character of the stylish rounded corner remains.

The Danum Hotel was constructed when Cleveland St was widened, and this also applies to our next building on the left-hand side corner of Silver St and High Street. It is dated 1910.
