It is impressive and the tower dominates the skyline in that area.

A very grand building. I’m trying to compare it with other similar looking architectural structures around the country but they don’t even come close to warrant a mention.

Thank you for your kind words about my photography.

Very impressive. I remember walking here and liking the beauty of this all. Love the barometer and clock in the wall. I have been in Greenwich and stood with each leg in teh different time zones…
I love your photography.

I think both the old and new guildhalls are spectacular. And yes the skills of the people who built them have been overlooked…

That new Guildhall is spectacular! It always amazes me what talent and craftsmanship they put into their work then,when we tend to look at the people as less sophisticated and skilled than we are today.

Yet, I am sure, like thatching, we have lost a lot of those art forms!

It is an impressive building, it is situated quite near the statue of Alfred.

As I said, I haven’t been able to find out the history of the instruments.
