As well as the previous posting, I took some photos of the Victoria Centre clock tower (and flats) while the Trinity Square Car Park was no longer in the way. I regret not taking pictures of the Guildhall while the Forman building was down, so I wasn't going to miss this chance of clear weather and minimal traffic.
The first photo is the view from the middle of the road by the Students Union building of NTU.
The next two were taken standing on a wall by the Guildhall Offices to look over the building site hoarding around the demolished car park.
While using up the film, I also took some closer shots of bits of buildings in the area. First up is a column head at the Synagogue. The sunflower sits oddly in pseudo classical setting.
The shadows on the roof of this NTU building caught my eye, as did the detailing to the ridge and eaves.
I also liked the look of the Oriel window and dressed stonework on the side of the Registrars' Office, sitting behind ornate railings. The detailing of the window heads, and the City of Nottingham coat of arms indicate a very different style of building Council offices than we use today...
