Our local radio station was celebrating its 30th Birthday today and throughout the day they were doing a number of special interviews. One presenter, James Thomas, invited the local Urban Sketch group to send along three members to sketch various areas of the building. I was allocated the kitchen area on the top floor which had panoramic views over the town and towards the Marlborough Downs - definitely daunting. Although we were there for about an hour, in reality we only had about 30-45 minutes sketching time. I chose just a small area with a popular bar in the foreground and a view of the church behind - trying to make sense of the confusing jumble of old rooftops in between (I probably missed out a few).

Stephen drew the short straw - the weather was atrocious, wet, cold and windy,
so they provided him with a parked car to attempt the outside of the building.
However, his view was hampered by the rain on the windscreen and then
steaming up, so he finished off with the car interior. |
