Looks like there might be a market or fair going on in the high street?
It's a splendid city gate and the hanging basket adds a very nice touch.

Very nicely composed Rosa, is that flint I see embedded in the stonework of the wall? I like the ornate arch and the flagstones leading to the gate.

Best wishes, Doug

Nice shot of part of Winchester's history, haven't been through that arch since the 1950s. The infilling to the stonework would be napped flint traditionally.
