If anyone is interested in the technicals : Combination of Canon 400D on a tripod at max aperture with mirrror lockup enabled no flash - exposures up to 8 secs and Canon G10 in auto and programmed modes mainly with flash

Hope some of ya like some of the shots.

I'd defo recommend a mooch round this place and make sure you catch the boiler room tour. There is also the heritage Open days starting this Thursday (I think) through to Sunday.

Very nice indeed.
The metal drawers are fantastic.
Reminds me of my childhood days at Ramsden St Baths Huddersfield. The Victorians were certainly the masters of architecture.
