The Westgate

We had some rain today.

After work I’ve walked into town as I had a chiropractor appointment. It’s important to look after one’s body.

It was good to be out for a walk.

On the way I took a photo of the Westgate.

The Westgate is one of two surviving fortified gateways in Winchester, England (the other is Kingsgate) formerly part of Winchester City Walls. The earliest surviving fabric is of Anglo-Saxon character. The gate was rebuilt in the 12th century and modified in the 13th and late 14th centuries, the latter including a portcullis in the western façade and two inverted-keyhole gunports (for use with hand-held cannon), the earliest in the country. The gate was in use until 1959 when the High Street was routed around it.

I like historic architecture.

My son is still poorly but it seems a bit better
