A pilaster is a rectangular, flat column that protrudes from a wall.
Comments about this page
I used to live in the flat about the old Westminster Bank at 1 Market Place. from 1969 to 1973. Accessed via Halford Chambers. If possible I would love to go up the approx 65 steps to see our old flat again. The impressive green dome on the corner was a storeroom in the flat. My husband painted cartoon characters around the walls. I would love to see if they are still there.
