Playfair
This view
looks to the north down Howe Street towards St Stephen's Church, built to
a design by Playfair. The design is ornate to facing the
photographer, but was left very plain at the back in order to save money.
The
church tower has a high
staircase leading around its edge up to the clock. The tower
houses what I have been told is the longest
pendulum in Europe. |
