According to the stone above the door, England's King Charles (the first not the present) stood on this tower, now named Phoenix Tower, in Chester and saw his army defeated. I wonder what it looked like that day in 1645?

Clever idea Dean. The bricklayer's apprentice must have laid those bricks late on a Friday afternoon 🙂

For those attempting perspective correction in Photoshop there is an excellent article here, I've had it bookmarked for years. It is written by Rodenestock so as you would expect it favours the view camera, but does give some great tips on retaining proportions when compensating for tilt in Photoshop and how to correct accurately.
