DOCKYARD PILLARS |

One edifice that never fails to attract questions is the mighty columns of the sail loft pillars. Built by 70 black and three white masons over 200 years ago, the pillars took 15 months to complete. They are big, impressive and always leave you wondering quite how the sails and the loft fitted into the picture. |
