I wonder how significant it is that not one of the figures depicted in the carvings is shown to be smiling. Does that reflect the mood of the times, or the mood of the artist?

Dear Gentle Author
My father worked for years in lloyds bank corn hill at lloyds bank in the old style banking days
He worked in corporate banking and is now retired but has many good tales to tell of that fine building and it’s occupants TS Eliot being one of them..!
he lives in the dales in Yorkshire which is his our home …now and has a flat in Rotherhithe so comes to see us from time to time
Dad studied at Oxford Keble college and like his dad went straight into banking becoming the chairmans’ advisor before he retired in the mid nineties

Those wooden carvings are lovely. The well is fascinating, too, and I can’t help but reflect that it would cost the Corporation no more than a few pounds a year to keep it in slightly better shape than that.
