Around My City

As I said ... I had a great tour of part of my city -




Willaim I ... apparently Medieval statues of Kings have their legs crossed to show that they held power



The Devonshire Regt War Memorial

.... and the number of names that are listed as lost, and are buried under the memorial



Celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, and marking where the North Gate wa



Exeter Was Memorial




Part of the Wall



Built to be similar to Covent Garden ... to house a market







 Victorain boot scrapers



Entrance to the old Granite works



The Guidhall - the oldest guildhall in the country that is still in use for the reason it was built

The Guild coat of Arms of the school I went to

Parliament Street, how fascinating!

I think boot scrapers would still be very useful outside all our houses.

I have walked past either end of Parliament street so many times, yet never knew it existed!

Yes, I love those boot scrapers ... such a good, but simple, idea
