Saint Mary's Gate
From the writings of Stephen Eckard, deputy director of civilian relief for the American Red Cross during WW2: "Houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries clothe the slopes of Castle Hill. Here Eckard can see evidence of the city's history before his eyes. In these houses lived the merchants who risked their money on trade with the New World. Their motive was profit ----- but their enterprise contributed considerably to the development of North America."
Now we look down towards the Job Centre (green sign, left).
At the bottom of the hill are more treasures that I hope to post here soon.
