A slabby, concrete nightmare
just always
Looks so wrong.
I hope the meeting house
Will still
Be there when it's gone.
Swansea is just so handy for urban sketching. Last year, when I made my 100 sketches of Port Talbot (to see the accompanying blog, click on this link 100 Faces of Port Talbot ) I did pretty much exhaust my local town as a source of inspiration. So when I have a few hours for sketching, I'm just as likely to drive into Swansea, park the car, and go off exploring. What struck me about this in particular is the contrast between the Quaker Meeting House - which looks like it could be late Victorian/Edwardian, and the horrible 1970s concrete block next to it.
