Looking a bit mossy.

It is too- a rather fetching shade of green...

I wonder why two different-sized gates?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

One for carriages and one for pedestrians I suppose....

Oh, wow.

I want one.

If only the abbey church had survived as well...

Familiar territory!

We hit Sheerness yesterday- the old dockyard church is now in a parlous condition! :o(

I've just been looking at an old postcard of the dockyard church's interior. What a handsome building it was! What happened? Did it get bombed?

Burned out by vandals some years back, I'm afraid.

You know, I check of LJ everyday and enjoy all of your photos, but this is beautiful!
