Baskerville House rs

He’s a beauty isn’t he? Baskerville House. 71 years old, you know. Built on the former home of John Baskerville, printer and typographer. It’s now home to modern day office space. And an underground gym I believe.

I waited an age to take this shot on a very busy thoroughfare on Centenary Square. Depending on what I’m after, sometimes people in the shot really works, but on this occasion I wanted to have a clear view. But there was one man who made himself very comfortable by proping himself up again the building with newpaper in hand. I could have asked him nicely to move along haha, but he looked quite settled so I took the alternative option of painstakingly erasing him with photoshop. Gone!

If you fancy having a peek inside Baskerville House, there’s a short video that will take you on a mini tour.

Have a good weekend all! See you next Friday :)
