EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Canterbury in 1898. The image showcases the magnificent Westgate, a medieval gatehouse that stands proudly as part of the city walls. Built in the late 14th century using Kentish ragstone, this architectural marvel is recognized as a Grade I listed building. The photograph, sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , allows us to immerse ourselves in history. It captures an avenue leading up to the Westgate, with its grandeur and timeless beauty on full display. The stone walls exude strength and defense while evoking images of knights and battles from centuries past. In this snapshot of daily life at the turn of the 19th century, men and women can be seen strolling along the road outside the gatehouse. A flagpole proudly waves above them, symbolizing national pride amidst a changing world. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era where literature meets architecture; where Victorian charm blends seamlessly with medieval heritage. This print serves as both a testament to British history and an invitation for modern-day travelers to explore Canterbury's rich cultural tapestry. With its historical significance and undeniable allure, it's no wonder that Westgate remains one of Canterbury's most cherished tourist attractions even today.
