St Gwrhai's Church Hall

Would you have noticed this hall if you hadn't been to Australia? Interesting how the design results in there being eaves, something I keep noticing the lack of in UK buildings compared with Australian ones. I think about this as my house has an addition which has no eaves on the East and West and so rain gets in open windows unlike the rest of the house.

The eaves are an essential feature in the UK for obvious reasons. :-) The Australian trip included great interest in the corrugated iron buildings there but I was already photographing such buildings several years ago. Here's a similar example.

When I think of eaves I think 1-2 ft rather than only enough to mount guttering and to keep vertical rain from the walls etc. Here in Aus the rain often isn't vertical and it's good to keep the summer sun off the walls.

Yes, that's a fair point about Australian rain. :-)
