Gloucester - The Cross
The heart of the old Roman town of Glevum Colonia - here the four ancient streets of Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate and Westgate meet.
The prominent building with tower is now a bank, a branch of HSBC.

1-3 Northgate Street, Gloucester
Built for the London, City and Midland Bank in 1905-07 by Thomas B. Whinney. Darley Dale stone. Not quite commanding enough for its location at the meeting point of Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate and Westgate Streets. More interesting is the small extension to the left, by Leah, Savory & Browning, 1972.
Now a branch of HSBC.

Off the top of my head...
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 Cracked Scrumpty, by artist Trix and sponsored by Café René.
