16 Micklegate Bar, City of York, UK
Wikipedia: Mickelgate Bar (gate to the City) was built in the 12th century, and the top stories in the 14th. A restoration of the Bar was completed in late 2017.
It is known as the Royal entrance to the City and at least seven reigning monarchs have passed through this gate including King Charles. A protester, a student from York university, was held on suspicion of a public order offence when he threw eggs at him. This photograph was taken on November 7th the day before King Charles’ visit.
Micklegate is the name of the street. The road originated as part of a Roman road from Tadcaster to York, which ran through a civilian settlement in the Micklegate and Bishophill area, in the direction of the fortress on the other bank of the Ouse. Its alignment was altered in the Viking period, when the Ouse was bridged in a new location, and it has remained unaltered since.
