Now this is bonkers! These are some gates near where I work. The land beyond the gates is concreted and occasionally used as a car park. Underneath the concrete is supposed to be a burial pit that was used for the dead from the Plague and for prostitutes that frequented the Globe theatre (which isn't far away) in the 17th century. Some local 'historian' has set this up as a shrine to the prostitutes and all sorts of tat is tied to the gate. Bits of ribbon with names on, Christmas decorations, plastic flowers and at night sometimes candles are lit. Its now on the tourist trail! In the background you can see the Shard which is going to be the tallest building in Europe.....when it is finished.
