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.
Why did a fulhamoids work end up in the Old Bailey?
It's not in *The* Old Bailey, it's in Old Bailey. Withers liked it so put it
in their foyer.
What year in NY's history id the model vased on?
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.
