UK - London - London city netting over statues

Netting protects statues from birds on the roof of Gibson Hall in the capital's Bishopgate Street in the heart of the capital's financial district. Protecting the artworks from local wildlife high up overlooking the bust streets of the capital's oldest area, the netting has been carefully placed across the bodies of classical figures. Gibson Hall (1864 - 5), by John Gibson is a fine example of Victorian, neo-classical banking architecture designed as the HQ of a bank that replaced an earlier neo-Palladian mansion.
