ABC Wednesdays: "O" is for Opticians


This grand old building on Market Street was my opticians for several years. I used to enjoy waiting in the upstairs rooms looking down on the bustle below. These days you can only go up as far as the first floor and, unless my eyes deceive me, its now a coffee shop chain.

Linked to ABC Wednesdays , the Sesame Street of the bloggers' world. This week it's the letter "O".

    1. It's a far more beautiful building than my optician's shop, which is the usual boring groundfloor building. Thanks for participating in ABC Wednesday! Have a great week!

  2. This building has so many windows. Someone must have got the ideal here for the modern all glass office towers.

  11. Oh, it's too bad the view from inside is now limited! :(

    Still, the building is gorgeous and I am excited to possibly see it in person in June!
