Description
An Ionic capital. This was a Nat West Bank, now shut. I don't now what it will become, but the stonework will be protected for sure.
Bournemouth is not an old town, first founded in 1810. So even buildings like this are important to preserve.

Nice capture Andrea. It is good to hear that the stonework is protected.
Its a pity more new buildings don't have beautiful detail.
Glass and steel can be attractive if done right but most modern buildings lack the character of these older structures. Nice capture. Good to hear that Bournemouth values protects its treasures.
a beautiful detail that seems to be missing from our more modern structures
'Bournemouth is not an old town, first founded in 1810'....well in Australia that's old. Whilst we have remains of Aboriginal stone houses that date back thousands of years, our oldest Western buildings are from the 1790's. So 1810 is old for me!! Elizabeth Farm below.
Excellent
We are in Savannah, Georgia, right now (est 1733), and are enjoying seeing many historic buildings. They have preserved a 2-1/2 square mile area in which any new buildings have to blend in and be of the period. Fascinating place! We went twice around in the tourist trolley just to hear more than one tour guide’s spiel. Uneven sidewalks mean I’m seeing more ground than I am architectural details, but we take walks where we just meander and stop a lot. Your bank detail is just my thing. Wonderful shot!
