Comments on the Spring Newsletter Designs Awards 1997 - TrustNews Summer 1999
As the Friends of Winchester College were responsible for Hallifax Gate, I thought I would respond to the obser¬vations in the recent Trust Newsletter with its very fine front cover.
We are, of course, aware that the concrete and tarmac surface adjacent to the gates leaves a great deal to be desired and it is the intention that this should be replaced as soon as the budget permits. It is also the intention to repair the stonework of the archway supporting the gates.

I read the last paragraph to mean that the gates deserved a better location, but I imagine the intention was to make the point that they deserved a better setting.
