Fulham resident Alec Graydon spent many years of spare time producing
a model of New York in his house. He died in 2003, but his model
lives on in the foyer of the Withers Building, which is the
northernmost building in Old Bailey. It measures 9ft by 11ft, and is
at a scale of approx 1:1000. They give you a handout about the model,
so they're not shy about it.

Even Googlegroupers have been known to say 'please' when asking questions
of other posters.

Coincidence: Did anyone here happen to listen to the Goon Show on BBC
Radio 7 yesterday (re-broadcast of 1950s show)? That featured a full-
scale model of New York built in the Essex Marshes being blown up,
specifically so that they could record the sound of the real New York
being blown up, by Neddie Seagoon of course.

It's not in *The* Old Bailey, it's in Old Bailey. Withers liked it so put it
in their foyer.

The area around the Empire State is the oldest bit, and as he worked outward
it gets newer and newer. The edges were made in the 1990s. There are
buildings at the edge which weren't built in real life when some of the
buildings at the middle were demolished in real life.

Why did a fulhamoids work end up in the Old Bailey, please?
What year in NY's history is the model based on, please?
Thanks in advance!
I copied and pasted the pleases in this message from another post -
does that matter?

Can you tell us of any other distinguishing marks of googlegroupers,
apart from their rudeness/air of superiority?
