Focus week 3: 28th January - Bristol, millennium square

This square in Bristol was designed by Edward Cullinan Architects, it was part of the regeneration scheme across the harbour side. The scheme was approved in August 2001, focusing on the SS Great Britain, and a new walk framing a view of the Cathedral. The square itself is adorned by a significantly large water feature and what at first appeared to be a large metal ball was in fact a large room dedicated to astronomy. another interesting aspect of the site was the analemma, which tells you how far and in what direction planets are. there are metal statue at one end of the site of Cary Grant, an actor born in Bristol. The other statues are William Tyndale a translater of the bible, William Penn and Thomas Chatterson, I'm unsure why these statues are there.
