The Guildhall
Gloucester's Guildhall is a fairly modern building. On this site used to be the Blue Coat Hospital, in fact a school established in 1668 by local wine merchant Sir Thomas Rich. He left money in his will to found a school for twenty poor boys and this thrived. In 1889 the school relocated to Barton Street.
This allowed the city fathers to build a new guildhall in Eastgate Street. Architect G.H. Hunt created a Renaissance style hall and it was opened in 1892. The hall also housed offices, council chambers and the mayor's parlour, but some of these were sold to the Cheltenham and Gloucester Building Society in 1985. (The latter seems likely to be renamed as a T.S.B. branch.)
However, the hall is still a popular venue for all sorts of entertainment and exhibitions.

'Nerva'
In celebration of Gloucester being one of the venues for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, these oval gentlemen have appeared around the city. Based partly on the local tale of Humpty Dumpty - actually a siege engine or cannon which was brought to bear on the city walls but which collapsed irreparably - and the handily coincidental shape of a rugby ball, these sculptures form a visitor trail. They have been individually worked on by artists and sponsored by local concerns, and will eventually go to auction for charity.
This 'Scrumpty' is called Nerva (after the Roman emperor who founded Gloucester), by artist Bryony Ball and sponsored by the Hollie Gazzard Trust. Hollie was a popular local hairdresser who was sadly murdered by her ex-boyfriend.
