I include this because it brings back memories of the only time I felt unsafe in this entire trip to the UK. I wandered into these ruins to take some more pictures. While I was looking for a shot, a group of people came in and started beating up one of their number - punching him, kicking him after he fell. The sense I got was that the poor gentleman owned them some money and they were extracting their pound of flesh. And there I was with a camera. Fortunately, they ignored me, and after they left I slipped out. Never did take any more pictures though.

Along the way we stopped at the Imperial Tank Museum; but that will be a different Album (although, perhaps, I should have included the picture of the "tank crossing" street sign here).

Southampton overall was a disappointment. We did see a couple of places; but nothing special. The building here is an old gate house.

The advantage of fan vaulting was that you could have much larger windows.
