As ever I much enjoyed reading your piece Andrew. Through my career I visited Plymouth many times but alas my days were working days to places such as the Royal Citadel and Devonport, not workidays. Though I confess the nights were given over to more than a glass or two of grog! And despite being a quarter Cornish I never got into whether it's cream or jam first, I just know it's scone as in gone - always was, always will be ... 😉
very nicely scene. Those buildiong have much to offer in their break with the past The way they reference materials and attempt to find a new archiotectual language with a nod to Corb, Mies and co. I particularly like the first with the very gren tree slap in front of the main event.
PS: Jam balancd on cream - cannot do without glisgtening fruit red what evers lol.
Thank you Shital. I suspect the building wasn't originally a police station. It looks a bit too austere for that, but budget cuts possibly mean that it's an economical place for them to be.

It's a fair point Harry. Whichever you have first, it's still delicious.
…scone as in gone… Ooh, I like that !
Thanks for an interesting post and tour.
Thank you for reading!

Thank you. Yes, lots of nods to Corb and Mies and more.
And jam or cream first doesn't really matter - as long as the scone is freshly baked it will be delicious!
I like the police station though it really doesn’t look like one to me!! Interesting photos Andrew.

Excellent photos, Andrew. The MLA college does look gorgeous The windows look like the eyes of a concrete dragon.
Thank you Alex. I like that description - a concrete dragon!
It's obviously jam and then cream, and I even say that as someone who was born in Plymouth.
Oh no it's not!
Brutiful stairs… hehe!
