The Cathedral spire, taken from Churchill Gardens. It's not a great photo, even by my low standards, but the spire coming out through the bushes amused me.

Little Ben in Fisherton Street, Salisbury

This is a slightly gloomy looking picture of the Clock Tower in Fisherton Street. It's known to some as 'Little Ben'. It was built on the site of the old jail. You can see a carved ball and chain type arrangement on one side of the tower. The tower itself though was built by a Dr Roberts as a memorial to his wife.

This is St Ann's Gate, another of the four gates in the Close wall. It's at the junction of Exeter Street, St Ann Street and St John St.

Harnham Gate, The Close, Salisbury

This is probably the lest grand of the four gates to the Close. It's usually known as the Harnham Gate, because it's at the Harnham end of the Close.
