The Art Deco Midland Hotel was built in 1932–33 by the London Midland & Scottish Railway to the design of Oliver Hill and included works by Gill, Marion Dorn and Eric Ravilious.

For the project, Gill produced:
two seahorses, modelled as Morecambe shrimps, for the outside entrance
a round plaster relief on the ceiling of the circular staircase inside the hotel
a decorative wall map of the north west of England
a large stone relief of Odysseus being welcomed from the sea by Nausicaa.
