A nice Paternoster image:
Temple Bar

Commissioned by King Charles II, and designed by Sir Christopher Wren, this fine arch of Portland stone was constructed between 1669 and 1672 and it marked the westernmost extent of the City of London on the road to Westminster, where Fleet Street (extending westwards) becomes the Strand.
It was removed in 1878 and moved to a stately home in Hertfordshire in 1880.
It was painstakingly re-erected in London as an entrance to the Paternoster Square redevelopment just north of St Paul’s Cathedral. It opened to the public in late 2004.
