Very sad news in the papers yesterday about the death of a man who had reopened on of my favourite childhood places in Canterbury. Mr Charles Lambie had the vision and drive to re-open the Westgate Towers and make them a popular tourist attraction again and I have heard very good things about the cafe/restaurant that is based at the towers.

I am sorry to hear of his death and now worried about what will happen to the Westgate now.

As children we often went to Canterbury and when we went there were several regular ports of call :- the Cathedral, the museum in Canterbury library and the Westgate Tower with its gardens.
