The pool hall in daylight. A long pool with pale green mosaic tiles and light rippling on the water and the slatted oak ceiling, pale limestone floors and walls, a stone ledge along one side with towel rails and candles, and four loungers with cream cushions. The whole left wall is glass onto the lightwell garden of small blossoming trees, ferns and flowers between stone walls.

01 · The pool hall in daylight
Looking down into the sunken lightwell from the courtyard on a spring day, over a glass balustrade with a bronze top rail. A square well of pale stone walls drops to the florist's garden: raised beds of white hydrangeas, tulips, ferns, bluebells and daffodils, and two small blossoming trees. At the bottom of the far wall, a full-height glass wall looks into the pool hall and the blue water of the pool. Granite setts, the water bowl and benches above, with Lowther Gallery and Hartley's Bakery in the distance.
02 · Looking down into the sunken lightwell from the courtyard on a spring day
The west side straight on from above the courtyard on a summer evening. Left to right: The Regal's blade sign on the corner, Our Price with a giant record on a bracket, Lowther Gallery with paintings on easels, Abbott & Sons Barbers with a barber's pole, the narrow Market Row Baths with a teal-lit stair going down, and Marlowe & Pike Booksellers lined with books. In front, the sunken lightwell planted with flowers behind its glass balustrade, and the water bowl, which has sprouted a fountain jet that is not in the design.
