The Wall.

This is in Hobson St, Cambridge and encloses part of Christ's College. I like the rounded top and the decorative bricks that jut out underneath. I've looked at this wall since my schooldays when I queued up with friends to go to the Central cinema, which is behind me and now closed like so many others.. Then as I grew up, I waited nearby for the Dorothy Ballroom to open, now Waterstone's book shop. I remember the top of the wall being covered in broken glass, set in concrete, to stop the undergraduates from climbing in when they were out late. but in the 80's it began to be taken down. Being Cambridge, our bikes were always parked along here too, no change there.
