Chichester has intact Roman walls, to the point where it’s possible to walk on the top of them. Perhaps not a complete as Chester, but still pretty good. The photo above shows the bit I walked on, further along a suitable gap has been left in to enable a view of St Pancreas Church, this was originally built outside the walls of the town.
The original church was destroyed in the civil war when the roof of it’s tower was used as a gun emplacement. This lead to it becoming a target! The church that stands today was built in 1750/51. Just outside it sits a statue of Keats – I wondered why and looked up that he stayed here in 1819 and started writing his famous poem (that I’ve never heard of!) “The Eve of St. Agnes”.
Above left is the Guildhall in Priory Park, below the Corn Exchange.
Chatter: For this series of posts I used the Canon EOS 30 with the Canon STM 40mm lens. I use this combo a lot! The film was, once again Foma 200, bulk loaded, although I’m nearing the end of this 30.5 meters already, especially with the help of this trip! Film developed at the kitchen sink in Barry Thornton’s (Metol) Two Bath developer, I’m liking the combination of the two! I give 5 mins on bath A and another 5 in B, the stop and fix in the usual way.
