St George's Hall

Last seen in April 2007, more than 27,000 people visited the floor following the £23 million restoration of St George’s Hall.
The immaculately preserved surface is made up of 30,000 hand crafted tiles depicting tritons, sea nymphs and boys on dolphins, as well as the city's coat of arms.
The floor was covered in the 1860s to provide a more hardwearing surface for dancing.

I didn't realize it was so spectacular. And so many chandeliers to swing from!

Nice one John, good DOF and perspective. Looks like a magnificent organ at the far end. V
