Strand Gate, Winchelsea, Sussex, 1872. 'The old gates of the town, the Pipewell Gate and the Strand Gate, have a striking look amidst the signs of present desolation. It was at the Strand Gate that Edward I. nearly lost his life, by his horse taking fright and leaping over the ramparts into the moat, while the King was looking at his ships on the sea. From this hill at Winchelsea did Edward IIl.'s Queen, with her ladies, behold the sea-fight between her husband's fleet and that of the Spaniards, Aug. 29, 1350. Two of her sons, the Black Prince and John of Gaunt, were with their father in that naval battle, which could easily be seen from the shore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
