These enormous larch arches are nearly 21 metres high. In fact the Winter Gardens are apparently one of the largest glue laminate ("Glulam") buildings in the UK. Glulam structures are made by forming and gluing strips of timber into specific shapes. This huge greenhouse - with several retail outlets 'budding' off one side of the building - is 70 metres long x 22 metres wide and it was opened by the Queen on 22 May 2003. This shot was taken from the Surrey Street entrance/exit.
