York Bar Walls: North of the Red Tower
A quick and loose sketch of the Bar Walls which connect the Red Tower with Walmgate Bar. This part of the city wall, which protected the Walmgate lying to the south east of the city centre, was probably rebuilt in 1858 when the Red Tower was also rebuilt. The steps carry the wall walk onto the earth rampart, the last stretch of wall and Red Tower being built on lower ground on the edge of a large pond. Drawn with a Pilot C-Tec 0.25 pen on a cartridge paper sketchpad.
