I live two miles from the historic area, so my family and I are constantly walking around there, to learn things or to just enjoy a nice day. The following photographs are a collection of my various visits throughout the year. The photos are in chronological order and are presented without comment, save one.

The emptiness of DoG (Duke of Gloucester) street in the spring is eerie. COVID kept people away, and while it was peacefully quiet, CW felt lonely. The final picture in the spring group of the empty benches in front of Chowning’s Tavern is telling. It’s very rare to eat there without having to wait for a table. Fortunately, crowds began returning over the summer and by the autumn (the best season for photos) most things were back to normal as evidenced by us locals complaining about the lack of parking.
