Where was this SL banner image taken (not a W&W)?

[Leodian]

I would be grateful if someone could please tell me where this SL banner image was taken. I have not posted this as a 'What & Where' thread as I don't know where the view is!

Starting the ball rolling with a guess that it is a very close close-up of the top of the columns at the front of the Town Hall. The listed building website says...On each facade the heavily rusticated base supports a giant Corinthian order of columns and fluted pilasters; an entablature surmounted by balustrade with urns runs all round the building.I know as much about fluted pilasters as I do about what might win the 3.30 at Kempton Park on Saturday, but I take the SL banner to be the 'fluted pilasters', although later on.......a square colonnade of 21 Corinthian columns supports a pulvinated frieze, dentilled cornice, balustrade and urns;...Just getting the builders dictionary out.

Hey there - that banner is a small cropped part of this photo of the Corn Exchange, taken by site member Ravey Davey.

Thanks for that dsco. I would not have guessed that location!
