Re: Bar gate
Was there in 2019 and had a long walk around the walls.
Never knew from all my visits there that there was still so much of it standing.
But of course in our day standing in the high street at night was often quite a challenge,
for some reason the sidewalk always kept moving at night.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
