Winchester is an English city with a population of about 40 000 which was founded by the Romans and later was the Anglo-Saxon capital of England.
The photos aren't really to straight because there were lots of people around and I didn't really want them to notice that I was taking photos

Winchester é uma cidade inglesa com uma população de cerca 40 000 que foi fundado pelos Romanos e foi mais tarde a capital Anglo-saxónica da Inglaterra. As fotos não estão muito direitos porque quando tirei-as as ruas estavam cheias e não queria que as pessoas vissem que eu estava a tirar fotos.

01. University of Winchester



02. Clifton Terrace



03.St James' Terrace



04. Clifton Terrace, Clifton Road and Romsey Road



05. Warren and Sons



06. Seems like there's some new project going on

Novo hotel criaria 55 empregos



07. Jewry Street



08. St Lawerence's Church



09.



10. The Square and Great Minster Street



11. City Museum



12. The Old Vine



13. Shops on the Square (although the shops on both sides make it seem more like a normal street, it seems that they built of both sides of one side of the square)



14.



15. Nice Beetle



16. Still the Square



17. In this photo, the way they built on both sides of the side of the Square is evident



18. Winchester Cathedral



19. War Memorial



20.



21.



22. War Memorial whole



23. These markings mark the foundations of the original Anglo-Saxon Winchester Minster



24.



25.



26. The Square (I presume at least, these photos are the back of the buildings in the previous 'the Square' photo)



27. The Cathedral



28. The Square



29. Not sure what this road's called



30. Nicest looking Thomas Cook that I've ever seen

37. Little Minster Street



38. High Street

Winchester is beautiful town at it's very worst you've got some boring but green suburban estates on it's edges but from there you just end seeing nicer and nicer residential areas. The town centre is just so polished with cafes and restaurants tumbling out little lanes amongst little shops. The money just oozes out between the brushed up bricks.

It really is green and beautiful

nice old English town.
Indeed

Silly pet project. I don't really understand the huge fascination with this particular boat.
Rebuild the 7 ancient world wonders instead while you're at it!
Okay :lol:

nice new thread, beautiful and lovely photos from Winchester...:cheers:
If anyone was wondering the term "chester" comes from the Latin castra or castrum. Castra were Roman military camps or forts.

It does indeed. Caer as in Caernarfron also comes from that term.

Beautiful shots. Winchester looks like your quintessential idyllic English town. :)
Absolutely beautiful!
This is what England does best in my opinion!
I would agree

It looks like what it is!

Absolutely beautiful!
It is. There are many others, but for a place of 40 000 Winchester has maintained itself impressively.
