But not sure how else anyone could have got that angle? Bit early for a drone!

It's quite surprising when you first see the photo, because despite its old style design, it was built around a steel girder framework! |

But wasn't the part built in Trinity Street a continuation of the black and white building in Priory Row? |

Helen F Warrington All posts by this member | 129 of 143 Sun 19th May 2019 1:56pm Moderator: Joined Mar 2013 Total posts:2427 The building in Priory Row was the remainder of three old buildings that were demolished, partly to make way for Trinity Street and partly to blend nicely with the old building. There was a complimentary building erected on the corner of Broadgate although it didn't survive the war. The two mock Tudor buildings would have framed Holy Trinity, opened up to make a view by demolishing the top of the Great Butchery. |

He wasn't an easy master, he would rarely sign the lists. His factory was quite large as you can see in the photo post 125. When it closed I'm not sure, but it had been empty and derelict for an awful long time, and everyone was more than pleased to see it go. |
