A few pictures taken over the past two or three days. Most of Canterbury has been photographed a million times.
All that remains of the Worthgate. The inscription on the panel is dated 1833, shortly after the demolition of the gate.
Probably because of the number of visitors, Canterbury still has more pubs than the average English city or town. These two are a little off the tourist trail, more authentic and worth a visit.
St Mildred’s Church, parts of which pre date the Norman invasion of 1066 although it has been extensively changed in more recent times, but not much for the last 500 years or so!
The river Stour flows through Canterbury in several channels. Until fairly recent times there were flour mills and tanneries within the city walls for which this was the water supply and power for the watermills.
The Zoar Strict Baptist chapel dates from 1854 and is one of the few buildings in that area to have escaped the destruction of the 1942 air raid. It is built into one of the bastions of the city wall.
Parts of the city wall and the bastions are restored and well preserved.
Not so the skeletal remains of Canterbury Castle. Dating from the late 11th century it is now closed to visitors because its crumbling walls.
One of the few streets in Canterbury that can be photographed without parked cars spoiling the view!
A traditional and colourful greengrocer’s stall in the High Street.
