The Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Plymouth - 27 December 2019

It was the architecture of this branch of The Edinburgh Woollen Mill at 20 The Barbican, Plymouth which caused me to photograph it on a damp Friday morning. There is a distinct railway flavour to the building and it is close to the former South Western Railway Offices. However, the link is not quite that obvious. Sir (then Mr) James Inglis designed the Fish Market which opened in 1896. His associations as a civil engineer were primarily with railways including the Great Western Railway. The Fish Market closed in 1995 and the property was converted and occupied by Dartington Glass.
