In Caffe 1901, ten minutes walk from the Alexander Laing Gallery.

Having a mocha and Biscoff cake. The cake could do with being slightly moister but is still good and, surprisingly, not too sweet.

The first port of call after getting off the no. 28 bus was the Laing Gallery. Entirely unplanned and not the stop I intended to get off at. Proof yet again that there is something worth looking at everywhere.

But as usual most people in art galleries don't seem to realize that the gallery itself is also a work of art or at least craftsmanship.

So here are some pictures that ignore the exhibits

First the outside, which is a bit dull, but informative

A good stairway with a window depicting the marriage of painting and sculpture

A workmanlike piece of banister. Not as fine as the banister in the museum in Rotherham though.



And on the next floor

The door handles to the paintings gallery

Door handles on the ground floor


And who looks at wallpaper?
