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.


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.
