About this tour
This call walks from the steps of St George's Hall through the civic buildings of William Brown Street toward the Georgian houses of Rodney Street. You see a Neoclassical hall built as a single civic statement and the quieter streets planned around it. I explain how the whole area was designed to work together.
We start with a sound check on the hall's steps, then move stop by stop toward the Georgian Quarter, taking questions throughout. I send a short architectural note afterwards.
It suits anyone interested in civic or Georgian architecture. It also works well as a longer call combining two very different building styles.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
