England - London and Bath

Temple Bar is the only surviving gateway to the City of London, even surviving the Great Fire of 1666. In 1878 it was moved from Fleet St, where it stood for 200 years, when the streets needed widening. Each beam and brick was stored until they decided what to do with it. Finally in 2004 Temple Bar was rebuilt at Paternoster Square near St Paul's Cathedral.
