Here's a quote from Building News in 1875, considering Victorian Gothic as a form of architecture:"Railway termini and hotels are to the nineteenth century what monasteries and cathedrals were to the thirteenth century. They are truly the only real representative kind of building we possess. Our churches, scholastic establishments, and domestic structures are more or less copies of mediaeval buildings."
Well, can you guess where I went on my holidays?
This interior was constructed in the 1870s and is the best example of high Victorian Gothic I've happened upon (although I don't get out much) ...
I particularly like the placement of this exit sign ...
