A Room With A View

Working l-r, these photos give you a pretty good idea of our view.
(Amazing!)
 
 
The Unitarian Church, that is now a pub called the Pitcher & Piano! There is a church, just out of view, which I believe is St Mary's, that bongs on the quarter hour throughout the day. Gives Big Ben a damn good run for its' money. And they have just started doing a peel as I type!
So special. Sounds like practise for a wedding!

The snippet of gold, bottom right, is Nottingham Contemporary.
 

Nottingham Contemporary bottom left. Moving round we get the Queens Road car park and the tram line in front of it. Excellent service.
 
 
 
Nottingham Magistrates Court
 


The circular white rooves belong to the HM & Customs buildings (very snazzy), with the Ratcliffe-on- Soar Power Station on the horizon.
 

 
Power Station on zoom. (Thank goodness...it's not that close!)
 
 
 
Nottingham Castle surrounded by greenery, Castle Heights office block on Maid Marion Way (!) and finally, another church, St Peter's.
 
Not bad for a hotel room view in the East Midlands!

Mancunian Architechture

 
New next door to the old. Quite a mix; I much prefer the old, so beautiful, so much detail.

 
A  very long walk by the canal and around the Northern Quarter, followed by iced coffees, vanilla chai cake with frosting and beetroot and courgette cake at Oklahoma.
Totally yummy!
