I love that building, the sun motif is everywhere but I’ve no idea what it’s history is, I suspect it was built for an insurance company originally though…just out of your picture there’s a couple of bits of carved stonework with what looks like firemens helmets on! Hope you feel better soon Beth!
Wonderful architectural detail! Especially against that bright blue sky.
A neat detail, well spotted! Oh, and I hope you get well soon, Beth.
Best wishes,
Daniel

That looks like Sun Alliance House in Mosley Street. I would suggest it was built originally for Sun Alliance Insurrance company sometime ago.

I should have confessed that my friend Vix was the one who spotted this and told me where to find it. Thanks V my lovely.
Mo I hadn’t noticed that - I’ll have to go back and investigate further!
Thanks for that Mike - I think you’re right. Well done!
