[Talk-GB] Preston Park, Brighton

[Jez Nicholson]

Thanks Tony,

Exactly the kind of response I was after.

The 2*clock towers comes from the original accidentally (I assume) being
moved and lost because it doesn't render. Another one was then created in
the original position. I just this day spotted the node.

I just measured a bench and it is 8ft wide...which I might call a 4-seater.
