Cornhill,

Cornhill,
Late on a cold and dull January afternoon, The gull on the very top is almost a perminant resident.
The Cornhill has always been the historic centre of the town. In 1779 an Act was passed to erect a market house and several houses were demolished to create the necessary space. Before long, it was enlarged and that work was completed in 1826 when the Cornhill dome was built by a local man called Hutchings. Then in 1875 “a handsome and commodious Corn Exchange” was added and it is that building which we recognise today,
bridgwater-tc.gov.uk/history/around-and-about-the-town/the-cornhill

HBM and a great week ahead, a large view for detail.

It is a beautiful building. The front now has glass windows and it houses a Prezzo restaurant, where it used to be open . I remember it in the days when there were stalls selling produce.

Are those phone boxed still working, or just decorative? It's certainly a fun red accent.

The gull has made it his home then Roger! You have taken a lovely picture of the Corn Exchange. I remember it well from the time I lived there in 1975. I think the car park I used for shopping is now a new shopping centre! Love the tall church spire too!
HBM and a good new week.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you, Rosa, The gull can spot food from up there ;-)) and the shopping center you refer to is Angel Place, however the majority of the major shops are on a large and very popular retail park off of East Quay

Such a beautiful old building Roger, and it looks splendid in this nicely composed shot, especially with the lights on in the windows. The domed roof with its own little domed tower on the top is really lovely. I like the seagull perching on the top!

Always good to see a red telephone box........even if it's card only. An excellent capture sir.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Many thanks Keith, I went out purposely when the light was low to see how well a full time f/4 lens coped, and it appears to have performed quite well, so I am going to keep it.
15 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
I spent some time during lockdown looking throgh my old photos and established that I rarely shoot at a wider aperture than f4, and I don't do much low-light stuff anyway. As a result of that I bought an Olympus 12-100mm f4 lens, which is proving to be an ideal "walkabout" lens.

I won't get rid of my f2.8 lenses though! My most used lens is my 40-150mm f2.8 zoom.
