South Gate, King's Lynn

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1904

On the right a Gothic gateway in a tower. Outside the gate the road is carried by a bridge over a moat. On the bridge are three men on foot and one mounted, who rides fast towards the left. The front is waste ground with a bank sloping down to the moat. About an inch above the end of the bridge and just to the left of the flanking buttress of the gate is a small opening in the wall, which tells as a dark round patch. The sloping tops of two buttresses which flank a doorway near the level of the water are shaded only with horizontal lines.
