Temple Bar Redux

As I intimated yesterday, Temple Bar has a very odd and mobile history. The "Bar" was originally just a chain placed across the road, but Christopher Wren built this fantastic monument towards the end of the 17th Century. When it became to obstructive to traffic in the 19th century, it was moved (from yesterday's location) to be the entrance to the country house, returning to Paternoster Square, just by St Pauls, in 2004.
