Post box 6

Opposite post box 6 you can see Ivy Gates, Rohais, St Peter Port. There is far too much traffic and hardly any gaps so quite a few cars in my photo too. This is what I found out about the Ivy Gates:
The Ivy Gates were the first property to be owned by the National Trust of Guernsey, and were gifted to the Trust in 1967 by the Heirs of the late Henrietta Herries. Built c.1640, the Gates formed the massive arch to the avenue originally leading to Les Granges de Beauvoir Manor, one arch for coaches and the smaller arch for pedestrians which appears to be very low owing to the road levels having been built up over the years. As the Arch is today, kept free of ivy, the coat of arms of the de Beauvoir family, who acquired the property in 1603, can be seen.
