'High-Rise' needs a remake, featuring delinquent street photographers.

Feels like a strange virus has left only shutterbugs alive - free to roam the waste, looking for 'shots'.

The Black Gate entrance once housed a drawbridge & portcullis

BTW, the name derives not from the building's colour (obviously!), but a prominent merchant who leased apartments there in the 1600s.

When the area was neglected, the Black Gate & the Castle were divided by a Victorian railway viaduct (carrying the east coast main line). This is the view from under its arches https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/55073112395/in/photostream/lightbox/

To be fair, at that period the area was a slum and the old fortifications left to rack and ruin.
