The striking sculpture on the front, which was the reason I stopped to photograph the building in the first place, is a replacement for the clock that was originally mounted there. Called “Dancer with Ribbon” it was erected by sculptor Michael Rizzello in 1997 and inspired by the ballerina Darcey Bussell.
