Bristol City Hall

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 2 March 2013 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Built in 1938 as the council house this building stands on College Green adjacent to Bristol Cathedral.
I'm not sure what the councilors were scared of, but they obviously felt they needed a moat for protection !

We are away for the next 7 days and may not be able to visit your blogs to put feedback, thanks to all who visit I've pre-posted some images and will try to visit if I have time and a connection

Canon EOS 500D 1/80 second F/6.3 ISO 200 18 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Lovely view here over the waters of the moat...From the compulsory protection feature for structures eons ago, this has perhaps come down to be aesthetic additions !!
