17th May. Chichester. Part 2. The town.

Chichester is a small city, with a population of less than 25,000. It is the County Town of West Sussex and is a centre for the surrounding rural and coastal towns and villages.



Cottage near the cathedral.




Lamp close to the cloisters.




The Market Cross - at the centre of a crossroads with 4 busy shopping streets intersecting at this point.



South Street, looking towards the market cross.



An old church has been swallowed up by the surrounding shops. It is now used as a Christian book shop.




Ashley joins Bill and me after spending time and money in the Christian book shop.



At this time of year the herb, valerian, grows just about everywhere including on the tops of walls.
