My accomodation for Ally Pally, was in Muswell Hill, a handy five minute drive from the venue. Our hotel was quirky, but opposite it is the local library.
What a fine looking building, and also a very modellable one. It's not very big, and pretty sqaure. Although there is stone surface detailing, nothing in the way of fancy mouldings. Even the roof is flat, with skylights. The window detail is obviously original, and hopefully won't be replaced with something UPC in the future.
Around the back, the wall suggests an extension, but this is long gone.
While poking around, at the end of the side street is this lovely collection of buildings. Plenty of character here!

ReplyDeleteThe library looks similar to a number of Carnegie-endowed libraries in Ontario. Maybe we can get a kit of one.
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of when I lived just down the road in the late 60s early 70s. And yes Phil, it was a lovely place to reside in those days.
