  2. Fascinating series of gates. I like the interiors of Windsor Castle and its quite topical because the Queen is in lockdown there at the moment; would like some of that space myself:)

    1. So it won't be difficult for the Queen to maintain social distance!

  3. The city gates are a great idea. I guess in times of old they would have been locked to keep the plague out!
