Lovely food and a marvellous environment in which to dine.The 'gubbins that raised and lowered' the window displays at Dyson & Sons is now on permanent show in one of the dining areas of the Marriott Hotel. Apparently the engine which ran the hydraulics system was relocated from the basement recently.So Sir John. Hope you are still an active SL member and you can make your dream come true.

Does the time ball on the dome of this building still operate? If not, does anyone know when it ceased to function ?

Does anyone know what happened to the figure on the clock, I noted the dude holding the scythe appears to have been removed?
