Old Treasury Building in Victoria Square - Vale

The Old Treasury Building  has been preserved but is now the Aldina Hotel.

 

We took a guided tour of the building to see what is still open to the general public.

 

 

 

There are some wonderful examples of restored plaster moldings, such as the one in the entrance hall

 

 

 

 

The old wooden staircase now leads to hotel suites, but through the door is a glimpse of the secluded courtyard the music group"The Beatles" were said to have escaped to for some privacy after their famous "Balcony Wave" from the Town Hall next door, in 1964.

 

 

 

 

The U3AC Photo-shoot Group with cameras at the ready in the Cabinet Meeting Room, note the height of the ceiling

 

 

 A fabulous ceiling rose
