Hi all, thought I'd better try and update the few evident changes.
Firstly I'm still working on the Iron Bridge, however I have also been bobbing up all over the layout doing a bit of wiring, researching and working on additional buildings all over the place from John Woods Eng. site and the council cleansing depot off Frog lane to the Victoria Hotel on Wallgate. None of which I have got anywhere near finishing but they are all progressing, albeit slowly.



The front of the Victoria Hotel, NOW the question, prior to the ghastly colour it is now can anyone recall the colour of the front wall and the window frames in the late 40's early 50's ????



The front section with a loose section of the framing that I have stained brownish at one end and a creamy colour nearer the station end. Any thoughts anyone???

And now for something different, a " Where was I when I saw this fine example of the brickies trade ????

Yes it is in Wigan!

If you think I should have posted this elsewhere let me know,
Colour of the Victoria, please !!!

Regards
Kevan
