except when you look at all the ships in the bay, and in the mouth of the river, one thing stands out, Sails and more Sails. |

Please excuse the doubler, but I can not find a way to edit or remove the older ones, if there is anyone who knows how to fix this, please had a small comment to this post. ? |

Nice pic, thanks. I see it is signed by the architect Percy Thomas. I guess that must have been an 'artists impression' before it was built, as I see there is no clock, was this there when first built or was it added later?

Hi Mate
I think you are right about it being a sketch before the actual build, so I've included a pic of the guildhall 1935. |

I notice that the tower does not yet have its famous clock??
