This extravagant confection was built as a showcase of Fothergill's style, to impress clients. The rather eroded datestone ("Built 1895") is to the left of the quatrefoil. The picture gives a clear idea of the building's bright colours, which were much less apparent when I first came to know it in the smoke-blackened days of coal fires and steam trains.
