TVR used the same lights. My pals used to make the wooden steering wheels for them as a retro fit.

Townley Hall?

[Gloria]

Nope not Townley Hall.

[Stanley]

Entrance to a court room?

[Gloria]

You’re right with that Stanley, but this is a very special courtroom, what’s special about it?

[Stanley]

Is it ecclesiastical? A consistory Court?

[chinatyke]

Is it at the Diocesan Conference house at Crawshawbooth?

[Gloria]

Not in this country. I’ll give a clue later on if no one gets it before.

[Stanley]

Are we talking about a former colony?

[Gloria]

No Stanley, think more about an evil regime.

[plaques]

COBRA, Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms A. No10 Downing street Can't get much more evil than that.

[Gloria]

Oh yes you can Plaques, think abroad.

[PanBiker]

Nuremburg Court Room.

[Gloria]

Spot on Ian, exactly right.

[Stanley]

And I have gone through those doors! Bugger!



Here you are, room 600 Nuremberg courts of justice in 2000. Still used today for major trials.

[Gloria]

Ha ha Stanley, I forget what I’ve seen yesterday

[PanBiker]

Third panel along from the door, you can see the top panel has been replaced where there used to be a clock

The image shows the trial of Rudolf Hess. The wall paneling is the same but the door architrave is different. this may have been a prisoners door rather than a judges door.

[PanBiker]

The architraves look like marble and I think it is just the angle that the shots are taken from that make them look different.

[Stanley]

A lot of alterations were made at the trial, when I was there in 2000 I commented to the guide that it wasn't big enough and he said that yes, the wall had been broken through into the next room to give seating for the press. The door with the marble surround leads into the main court building. For the trial another door was made in the wall at the back of the dock and I have an idea was a small lift to the cellar and the cells. Those executed were dealt with inside the building as well.



Here's the extension.

[Stanley]

What exactly is this?

My pal who worked on maintenance down the pit was faced with a flood. He told one of the lads to run back and phone the pit top what was going on. the man said how do I do that. "Lift the phone and press the 'Yorkie bar' button.
