Leaving the Image, I happened to notice this foundation stone, which was laid 99 years and 363 days before I was stood here now. Demonstrating that correct placement of the apostrophe was troublesome even a hundred years ago, it states: Young Mens' Christian Association FOUNDATION STONE Laid 25th February 1909 by The Right Honourable Godfrey Charles VISCOUNT TREDEGAR Daniel Guy, President Geo. F. Golborne Building Committee
