Good pics John, shame about the fire.
Let's hope the Lottery considers this a 'good cause',
and pumps some money into rebuilding it.

Nice gallery again John, good detail and interesting angles as always. I Believe I went to see this when I was a child in hte cub scouts. I've never been back but seeing this perhaps I should.
