These iron gates are really spectacular. Here is a little history lesson. They are called the Norwich Gates and have the most beautiful intricate design of flowers and leaves. They were created by a very clever man called Thomas Jekyll. Here in my other picture you can see a little bit of the detail .
The flowers look like poppies to me, one of my favourite flowers in the whole wide world. I grow them in my garden at Clover Cottage. It is a little bit strange to see them all in black when in real life they are a scrumptious shade of red.
I must climb down from these gates and continue on with my sightseeing day.
Love from King Sherbet the firstx.
