Sydney's Queen Victoria Building

I was pleased to have the opportunity for a brief visit to the Queen Victoria Building, Sydney's premier shopping centre and a must visit attraction.


For many years this amazing building was used as office space and at one stage there was talk of demolition to make way for a city car park.  Luckily the building was restored to and is now an architectural and commercial success.  You can read more about it here

I would like to place some money on those floor tiles coming all the way from my home town of Stoke on Trent. That is a pretty amazing building. So glad that someone had the fore thought to restore it. What a waste that would have been to demolish it.

Thank goodness this building escaped demolition. Shirley is absolutely right about the tiles and Stoke-on-Trent (it's my home town too) - most probably Minton ...
