Taking shelter

I am in Nottingham today for a meeting at the National Justice Museum in the Lace Market district of the City. The meeting went well and I'm now killing time before meeting a friend in the Pitcher and Piano, a few steps away from the old Shire Hall in which the NJM is located. I was going to have a walk round the city but it is pouring with rain, which has allowed me the opportunity to appreciate the stained glass windows in the Pitcher and Piano whilst taking shelter from the rain. The pub is in what was the High Pavement Chapel, a Grade ll listed former Unitarian place of worship. These windows are sensational. They were designed by Philip Burne-Jones, an illuminary of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and made by Morris & Co, a company founded by William Morris, begetter of the Arts and Crafts design school. They date from 1904. I'd like to think that customers do occasionally look up from their drinks and chattering to appreciate the craftsmanship. I also sheltered in Nottingham Contemporary, a very different building to the former High Pavement Chapel,  the spire of which can be seen in the background. Unfortunately they were changing exhibitions so there was no contemporary art to see in the Gallery, but the cafe served a nice cup of coffee and cake.
