Southgate Arch
Launceston was originally a walled town and this was one of the three gates into it. It has however been embellished over the years with the addition of two rooms above the arch just after the time of Henry VIII. The battlements on the top are a Victorian addition.

Launceston town centre
The only way to avoid the traffic described in Image is to tilt the camera up. This view looks into the main square from Broad Street, with Image on the right, and evidently a shoe shop on the left.

Launceston Town Square
This is potentially a wonderful centre to the town. Many of the buildings surrounding the square have a long history. The monument at the centre is an ornate war memorial. It could be a very pleasant place to be on a bright winter's day such as this but it is completely ruined by the cars. The pavements are narrow and to step off them is to risk conflict with cars nosing around the square looking for a parking space, reversing out of one or expecting to travel through unhindered. There is nowhere to sit and relax, even the steps of the war memorial are fenced off. All in all tremendously disappointing and a complete waste of this wonderful place.
