London Court is an open air retail shopping arcade that runs between St George’s Terrace and Hay Street in the centre of Perth. The building was commissioned in 1936 by WA entrepreneur Claude de Bernales and designed by Melbourne based architect Bernard Evans. It was completed in 1937, when the arcade was opened with a ‘Ye Olde English Fayre’. London Court is distinctive for its Inter-War Old English style of architecture. At each end of the arcade is a three-storey entrance with a Tudor facade, a large wrought iron gate, heraldic shields – many bearing the St George cross – and an oriel window containing a large, decorative clock. Inside the narrow arcade, the Tudor facade continues with extensive half-timbering and timber-panelling on the walls, gabled roofs, leadlight windows and corbelled window boxes. Hand-carvings, gargoyles and crests also adorn the walls, and a number of weather vanes can be seen on the roof.

After noting the accuracy of the clocks, which were designed to lose no more than a thousandth of a second per hour, the author provides a description of the mechanised features that would accompany them. One would (and does) show “St George unmounted and brandishing a stainless steel sword chasing a dragon around a circuit each quarter of an hour” and beheading him on the hour, while the other would show four knights jousting. London Court is otherwise described by the author as a “medieval monstrosity”, standing in stark contrast to the modern architecture of the surrounding area. London Court is a retail shopping arcade that runs between St George’s Terrace and Hay Street in the centre of Perth. Completed in 1937, the building was commissioned by WA entrepreneur Claude de Bernales and designed by Melbourne based architect Bernard Evans.

According to the legend cited in the description under the clock, the mythological giants Gog and Magog were captured by Brutus and forced to serve as porters at the gateway of a palace on the site of the Guildhall in London. They are indeed guardians of the City of London, and wooden statutes of the figures were installed at the Guildhall in the early eighteenth century. These statues replaced large wicker models of the giants that had been paraded in the Lord Mayor’s Procession since the time of Henry V (r.1413-1422), but that were destroyed in the Great Fire. The description reads: “These two 7-feet giants have been striking the time on Gaunt's clock since 1892. They were carved from clear pine and modelled on the figures erected in Guildhall, London, in 1708 to symbolise the conflict between the ancient Britons and the Trojan invaders. Mythology tells of the giants Gog and Magog (also known as Corineus and Gogmagog) having been captured in battle by the Trojans and made to serve as porters at the gateway of an ancient palace on a site later occupied by the Guildhall. It is traditional for Gog to stand to the north and Magog to the south.” However, although the description lists Corineus was an alternate name for Gog, Geoffrey of Monmouth describes Corineus as an ally of Brutus in his twelfth-century Historia Regum Britanniae, and credits him with slaying the giant Goëmagot (by throwing him into the sea).

Description An account of the resource A view of Flinders Street Station, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD. Flinders Street station was designed by architects James Fawcett and HCP Ashworth, who won a competition to re-design the station in 1899. Building commenced in 1900 and was completed in 1910. The architecture is often described as "Edwardian Free Style", which suggests a design featuring an eclectic mix of different architectural elements without favouring any particular style from the past (see Richard Apperly, Robert Irving, Peter Reynolds, <em>A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture: Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present</em>, North Ryde, Angus &amp; Robertson, 1989, p.139). However, the station architects described their design as &ldquo;French Renaissance in a free manner&rdquo;, which suggests rather that they did start with a particular Renaissance style in mind, into which they incorporated a number of other elements and influences, such as Art Nouveau (See the Victorian Heritage Database report at: <a href="http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752" target="_self">http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752</a>). The exterior of the station is constructed in red brick with yellow pressed cement decoration, while the interior also has a number of pressed metal features. A large dome, reminiscent of Brunelleschi&rsquo;s fifteenth-century addition to The Duomo in Florence, adorns the roof of the station and is flanked on either side by a smaller cupola.
