I uploaded these photos last year and haven't done anything with them so....

Gate

Now as I've probably said before, Launceston likes to pass itself as a respectable late Victorian city, and we don't talk about the older days, do we?

Obviously that's different these days, and of course the older buildings are there, if not always obvious. There's St Johns church, the synagogue and some pubs. (Looks at that combination and laughs.) A couple of public buildings, but I really haven't done much on Launceston, have I?

I shall do something about that, one day. )

Now this was a good way to spend a day! I went to all the places on my "Must See" list and the "Go To If There Is Time" list, and then some from the "If You Happen To Be Walking Past" list :) Eight places in all, with no need to rush.

I'll do separate posts with photos & information for each buildings if and when I fell inclined. Probably I won't get around to doing all of them, so any requests for particular buildings are welcome.

My first port of call was the police station, where I bought my ticket ($5 for 2 buildings, $10 for as many of you want). They were only taking small groups into the station -- one group of 10 every half an hour. Given there were about 20 people already waiting, that seemed a bit optimistic.

Town Hall

I thought I'd try my luck in half and hour, and in the meantime, headed around the corner to the town hall. I thought I'd been in here before. OK I have been in there before but not the main part.

It was more interesting than I expected.

The rest. )
