Hepworth Building, rear

This heritage building was constructed in 1913 from bricks used as ships ballast which allowed it to survive a fire in 1918 which destroyed most of its wood frame neighbours.

Thanks for all the views, comments and favs. I very much appreciate them all.

Interesting history and composition. The rain walkers add a lot!

Nice composition and lovely tones.

Beautiful black and white! I can see so many details and textures that color wouldn't show.

The b&w really highlights the texture of the bricks.
