Finished off in Gold

Archway to the Church Yard
This archway leads from the world of East and West St Helen’s Streets into St Helen’s Church Yard.
Churchyard Cat
A churchyard cat seems as much a fixture as the old memorials on this warm May evening.
Churchyard Railings
The railings have been recently re-painted – black – and should now do for some time to come.
Gate by Brick Alley
The top of the gate by the Brick Alley Almshouses has even been finished off in gold.

    Lovely pictures. I pass this way every day and only now have seen the beauty. It’s wonderful what a camera can capture.

    a great many years ago when i was in the cubs, we were sent to deliver parcels of food to the people living in those almshouses – I was full of apprehension, wondering what kind of strange being could inhabit such a home.
    naturally it turned out to be a nice old lady who even sent a thankyou card – still don’t think i’d want to live that close to a graveyard though – a strange sight to greet you each morning.

    I thought the streets were paved with gold too. Isn’t that Dick Whittington’s cat?

    Lovely golden arch picture.
    At the south gate, turn right, turn right again and you’re in the Anchor for a quick shandy.
