The Banqueting Hall.

 

Despite all the opulent detailing in the Banqueting Hall, it’s a model of restraint compared with elsewhere in the castle. There’s an unusual air of sobriety – the character of the original medieval interior still remains.

School of Art, designed in Ruskinian Gothic style by J H Chamberlain, built 1884-85. This is the Margaret Street façade and entrance porch surrounded by a profusion of carved decorative stonework. A frieze of Doulton tilework extends across the frontage.

Built in 1899 in the Colonial Revival style, it is one of the few remaining examples of Victorian architecture in the Arlington Heights area.

Texte original en français (English version is further down)

 

Quand on le regarde de ce bord-ci on ne se rend pas compte tellement que le bâtiment du "Old Vic" est en rénovation et qu'à l'instant même le TCAF s'y déroule.

 

C'est grâce aux immenses fenêtres au milieu au 2e étage que la salle de séminaire VC211, qui contenait la bande Dumbrella et la bande du Dayfree Press (ainsi que la jolie Meredith Gran et la jolie Danielle Corsetto) pouvait être si lumineuse.

 

English version of the original French text (L'original en Français est en haut)

 

Viewed from this side the Old Vic College doesn't look like it's being renovated and it sure doesn't look like it's filled with the TCAF right now.

 

The big windows on the second floor, right in the middle, are the secret to the stunning luminosity of the VC 211 seminar room in which the Dumbrella gang and the Dayfree Press bunch were hawking their wares, along with Meredith Gran and Danielle Corsetto.

Cardiff is the home of a couple of Victorian Arcades. They're wonderful. Rent can't be to high, the shops are odd ball emporiums, costume shops and indie slow food cafés. The upper store often has vacant windows. It all breathes the air of old Victorian age and decay.
