A collection images featuring architectural details, photographed by me on my travels. Whether they be roof details, windows, doors, gates, folly's or complete houses, anything that looks interesting (to me) will be posted here.... as long as it catches my eye. Take a second to look above the shop signs next time you are in your local High Street, you might be surprised by the buildings and the small detailed architectural elements that sit above our heads.

A spire from the inside.... Salisbury Cathedral
The internal wooden scaffolding structure of the c1320 spire at Salisbury Cathedral which is hollow, as seen on one of their amazing tours. A windy day made for some exciting climbs up stairs with the whistling noise all around, some very scared tourists and some disappointing views from a vantage point atop the tower (209ft up!)

More on the roof.... atop Winchester Cathedral
I took a guided tour of the tower which included a rooftop walk, as we were the only 2 people booked and they were training a new guide, the 90 minutes turned into 2.5 hours with the guides showing us all of the hidden bits that bigger tours don't get to see. This photograph shows looking directly south from the very top of Winchester Cathedral, Winchester College to the left of the picture, the Wykeham Arms in the streets below, St Cross just below the horizon & in the distance on a clear day you can see the Isle of Wight, you could just make out the flares at Fawley today.
