Day 3 of SAHGB study tour - quick tour of civic centre and now on the coach to Hales.

SAHGB study tour was excellent - such an array of buildings & access to the expertise of custodians, archaeologists, curators & architectural historians to understand them & spot the things we might otherwise miss. All overseen by the expertise of Susie West & Stephen Gage.
