A view which doesn't reach the ground, from the upper floor of the Museum pub to the upper floors of the Orchard Square shopping centre, focusing on the rather unusual clock tower with its five bells. I did not know until later that on right (south facing) face are doors which open on the hour to reveal two figures, Fred and Elsie, operating factory machinery to do with the city's famous cutlery trade.
