Photo of Plymouth, St Andrew's Church 1889

More about this scene

Construction of St Andrew's started in 1370 and the tower was built by Thomas Yogge in 1481. Its status as the mother church of Plymouth could not protect it from the Luftwaffe and in 1941 it was reduced to a shell. Restoration started in 1949 and St Andrew's was eventually reconsecrated in 1957.

When I was a child I'd go into town with my mother and to come home we'd stand on Old Town Street waiting for the 43 or 44 bus to Whitleigh, and I was mesmerised staring at the Guinness Clock as each word lit up progressively: GUINNESS - IS - GOOD - FOR - YOU. Happy times.
