The Barbican, Plymouth - an alternative view
The centre of Plymouth was heavily bombed in the Second World War, and a large number of buildings were destroyed. But miraculously a few of the buildings in the Barbican - the oldest part of the city, and adjacent to Sutton Harbour - survived. The result is a mix of architectural styles with a wide variety of post-war buildings standing next to town houses dating from the 1600s and warehouses from the early 1800s. It makes a fascinating cityscape. This was taken from Pin Lane in the Barbican, and looks north towards the city centre.
