Sunday Snap – The Eastgate


The television schedules have been full of Churchill tributes this week and of course we've had our finger on the pulse as usual! Instead of looking at Churchill the statesman or Churchill the journalist it was a chance to look a Churchill the painter with his art studio. The location of the art studio was correctly answered by Carole, Rachel and Laura who all knew it was

Chartwell

I've delved into the archives again this week due to the fact the area surrounding JibberJabberUK looks like it could be on the next series of Ice Road Truckers. I took this photograph simply because it has both a red K6 telephone box and a rare Victorian fluted postbox in it. I know you may think what more could you want in a photograph but yet there is some other historical appeal to it. Pictured behind these two fine examples of street furniture is The Eastgate. The town where this is situated is the county town and well-known for its famous castle. It was once a walled town but much of the town was destroyed during a fire in 1694. On top of The Eastgate is the small chapel of St. Peter's. This week's question is

Where is the The Eastgate located?

We were joined last week by Leyla from This day I love... and her photographs of the sheer delight of a snow day. Have you had any snow where you live?

  1. That's a really great photo as the bright red of the phone box jumps out at you and contrasts perfectly with the background.

  4. Great pic. Is it Warwick? I know there is an Eastgate there, but then there are many! We also have a Churchill link on our blog this week, funnily enough, as Jess has written about a new Churchill exhibition. Have a great week!

  5. How unusual seeing a post box next to an old phone box! The double red combination looks quite smart!

  10. What a great combination of old and slightly outdated. I wonder how much longer before phone boxes disappear entirely.
