Clutton and opened in 1864, replacing the chapel in George Street [[27922]]. Following a disastrous fire a reconstruction was completed in 1884, funded by public donations. The tower dates from 1878; it originally had a distinctive short steep pyramidal roof but this was removed after World War II. Information from Royal Leamington Spa by Lyndon F.

A feature of the summit ridge is how abruptly you go from the grey to the red sandstone and back again when traversing the ridge. In the distance, behind Sgurr nan Lochan Uiane, is the snow covered summit of Liathach K A Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:27 GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1596968 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1596967 At the entrance to Whatley Quarry. South to Nunney in the other direction. Probably carrying a fair amount of limestone from the quarry for local use, most of the longer distance goes by rail.

Its architectural character divided opinion then and still does today. It is in stark contrast to its more elegant and restrained early 19th century neighbours. Some might say it is not fit for purpose, with its gloomy, cavernous rooms, terrible acoustics and (guessing) quite a heating and lighting bill. The council's offices are elsewhere [[98421]]. The Town Hall is once again under threat despite being a landmark and a focal point in Leamington's Parade.

"Nestled amidst the Somerset countryside on the eastern Mendip Hills, just outside Frome, Hanson's Whatley Quarry - one of the largest quarries in the UK - produces on average 70,000 tonnes of Carboniferous Limestone a week. The rail-linked quarry, which supplies markets across southern England, operates on a five day production basis starting 6am and normally running until midnight."

The four-storey extension on a cramped site was built in 1904, I believe. Further along Priory Terrace, in [[SP3265]], is the sorting office, believed to date from the 1970s. Beyond it are mainly late 19th century mansions with rear gardens running down to the River Leam. The Clock Tower of All Saints Church appears on the right of the photo.
