Winchester in a nutshell
Image: © Graham Horn Taken: 28 Oct 2009
Taken from the roof of the 14th century Westgate, the main west-east layout of Winchester, defined since Roman times, can be seen here. The clock is on the old guildhall, with the buttercross underneath and beyond is the narrow street profile at the Pentice. The tall copper-green roof is the new (Victorian) guildhall. The coach is parked adjacent to King Alfred's statue at the east end of the city, with St. John's Hill beyond.
