I had the opportunity to visit recently when going round with the parish council, it was strange to be in the building after over 2 years, and also of course to see it emptied of everything, well almost everything, the plinth on which the croc stood, is still there as you can see if you look through the particulars. If you were to visit, I wonder what you'd photograph? The first photograph you'd take is obvious isn't it? The croc's footprints:

I wonder who painted them on the carpet? They are very effective

and of course lead all the way up to the top of the building

It's all very strange with everything taken out, above is the former Archaeology Gallery on the first floor

And lastly I took photos of the beautiful coloured glass in the front windows

So there we are, lovely heritage building in the heart of Old Town.
