Victorian Gold

My title sounds like a posh biscuit but my eye was drawn by the last glimmer of light falling on this Victorian Mill whilst I stood at the bus stop above school tonight and that is what came to mind.  This mill complex was once home to British Mohair Spinners and, apparently is circa 1850-60, the water tower having a 'Venetian window' in its top stage.  I was hoping to capture the same light glinting off the flock of pigeons that were circling when I arrived at the bus stop, but sadly they had gone by the time I got out the camera.  If you look closely you will see why they possibly didn't hang about - are those two stuffed hawks sitting on the top of the tower?
