The 'eye' makes me feel that it belongs to some Insurance Co. premises . Giving me neckache looking for the cupola above it. Best place to look might be the East/South Parade areas.?

Is it by any chance the building at the bottom of Park Row? Near to Lloyds Bank?

Feast and FirkinThere also used to be the Felon and Firkin in what is now O'Neils on Great George Street and I believe the brewery was in the bowling alley at Warner Village because the bowling ally sold their beer

Got it! It's the Cathedral Chambers on Great George Street! Just opposite the old Thorseby Girls School!!!

I'll put a picture up later if I can, I'll take one on my way home from work. - wondering though why the all seeing eye would be put there. Not sure what the building was originally, I'm assuming it wasn't part of the cathedral.

Nice one LS1 - you've got it!!It obviously once was a masonic lodge - there's a 'Square and Compass' device in the arch above the 'to let' sign and there's a foundation stone at one corner laid by a lodge grandmaster.its a nice building - note the terracotta tiles - I.m surprised it hasn't been turned into the proverbial 'trendy wine-bar' as yet.

Beat me to it! I realise now what it was after seeing the rest of the building. Any ideas what the stone says? I remember it says 1900 but nothing else!There are now three former lodges I think i know of, this, the one further down on the corner with Calverley St, and the one on Call lane. Anyone know of any others in the city?
