The platform at the top of the tower. There is no way up this high inside the tower any more, so once the scaffolding comes down, it might be a long long time before anyone can be where we were stood.

The tower itself, as close as anyone is going to get to it for a long time.

Secret rooftop gardens! How nice would it be to sit up here in the sun with a drink & a book, looking down on the city, & knowing that the city doesn't know you are there!?!

I was wondering why the world seemed so woefully uninterested in pictures of Holy Trinity Church... After two months I have just noticed that I had set the access rights wrong so only registered users could look at it!So, re-introducing our Highly Irregular Feature for May/July 2007 - Holy Trinity Church!Munki (wolli)
