St George's House ahead of its time

It amuses me how the original grand entrance to St. George's House gives way to a section which reminds me of a 1970's sci-fi space ship...

Completed in 1911, it must have seemed ahead of its time in certain ways as it originally had a running track and a swimming pool on the roof. Sadly these characterful features were removed when it became yet another office block about 20 years ago. Read more at Down by the Dougie.

It's all back to the grindstone today after a completely dry (weather-wise!) Easter in this part of the north-west, which included two gloriously sunny and warm days...
