Hi Mate
I think you are right about it being a sketch before the actual build, so I've included a pic of the guildhall 1935.

Nice pic, thanks. I see it is signed by the architect Percy Thomas. I guess that must have been an 'artists impression' before it was built, as I see there is no clock, was this there when first built or was it added later?
