It is interesting to compare this with another older view.

| Delftsche Poort - 1898 |
Viewed from the city, near the River Schie
There is a very depressing picture of what happened to this old city gate on 14 May 1940 here
I can find no later photos so it looks a though it no longer exists. Perhaps someone could let me know.

Probably not, one of my best friends is a German lady from Berlin and her description of the destruction is horrific, whilst I was cowering in London, she was doing the same in her city.....
Ooops, just realised after I'd posted that you were referring to the city gate in Holland, never mind, put it down to the fact that it's late and I've been working too hard. :00
It would be interesting to see if it was rebuilt. I liked the windmill in the background.
Hi Bob .. the War was horrific at the best of times .. so it's interesting to see the postcards pre War ..
I don't know Holland .. and I expect there's been so much change and rebuilding of the town/river/harbour area ..
Thanks for showing us .. Hilary
I love the first view with the close-up, but it's also great to see it with all the kids lined up wanting to get in the picture.
It’s a very handsome building - but I’ve never been there :)
How Odd.The Building Looks Strangely Like Todmorden Town Hall!"
