"The bus had come to a sort of open concourse or radial point . . . I was looking at a large pillared hall on the right-hand junction ahead. The structure's once white paint was now grey and peeling, and the black and gold sign on the pediment was so faded that I could only with difficulty make out the words 'Esoteric Order of Dagon.' This, then, was the former Masonic Hall now given over to a degraded cult." [ Photo of Legion Memorial Building, Gloucester. ]
