Bayleaf Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Out by about half a mile UKL, though I see what you mean, the colour of the brick and the stonework. Not a church building though. Go west, young woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 West from St Maie's ? St Paul's Parade ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Map request, N, S, E, and W of The Parish Church, I know, just thought it might help. Out by about half a mile UKL, though I see what you mean, the colour of the brick and the stonework. Not a church building though. Go west, young woman!

RichardB Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Now what's that church reflection in the window pane, is it part of the Cathedral? St. George's ... sorry, didn't read UKL's last post ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is it what's left of Jessops Hospital and the church St Georges? Spot on UKL, now the Music Dept of Sheffield University. If only they would do a similar restoration job on the other block. I have to say that ugly little dragons seem to be a strange choice for decoration on a Women's hospital, unless there's some deep superstition involved? Maybe someone can sort this one. On the front of the building at the top of a drainpipe there's another carving. My eyes and my camera aren't up to making it out for definite. My best guess is a tortoise. Any takers?
