That was where I started too. then I tried city monuments. And I don't know what all. ☺ But I'm glad you found it. And this last link is real beautiful. A beautiful story of the history. Thanks again. ☺♥☺

I was lucky Ank, I expected to find it on the Monumentenregister or the Rijksmonumenten.nl. I found it on an image search, 'winterswijk netherlands monumenten' ☺☺☺

I also found this link later, http://www.oudwinterswijk.nl/nl/textiel/batavier/

Wow Brian, I agree with Linda, you are brilliant. I spend 2 hours trying to find it, I don't know how much time Linda spent. But we did not find it, and you did it again. I just wonder how you did. You are great Thanks friend. Tomorrow I will post another photo of the parade with the gate in it. And then I post a second photo with only the gate. So then we are sure they all see it. ☺ Brian you are the best and of course Linda, thanks for doing your best. Brian is just a much better detective than us. ☺

Brian, you're brilliant! Well done. Thanks, I'll go and look at it right now via your link.
I thought I was going to have a sleepless night tonight. Not any longer. Wow. ☼♥☼

I've just found the gate, it's the original brick gate to the factory ‘De Batavier’ ☺☺

It can be found on GEarth at, Zonnebrink 19, Winterswijk

Hi friends, I've looked again for this ancient gate this evening, but can't find a mention of it anywhere on the internet. I found a modern postcard (a different postcard from the one I referred to earlier) which shows this arch / gateway standing alone as in the puzzle, but there was no description. The postcard suggests that it stands further away from the apartments than this photo suggests. I can't believe that it is undocumented. I've tried searching for it in English, German, French and what I believe to be something vaguely like Dutch, but to no avail. I must be doing something wrong. Let's hope that Lia or some other expert on Winterswijk can tell us more. ☼☼☼

Hi Pat, glad to see you. ♥♥♥

Liked the color of the vegetation around them.

You gave me hope. I thought I will look on Google Earth. But a big part of the Misterstraat is not on GEarth. But I don't think it's there. Because that's a street in the center with shops. Well if someone recognize this .............. LIA.................... ☺☺ then someone can tell us. ☺☺☺

A bright and cheerful float. Lots of colour.
I looked for the gate this morning too, but didn't get far. I found a gate on a vintage postcard of Misterstraat in Winterswijk but I don't think it's the same one. Difficult to tell.
Thank you, Ank. ♥

Thanks Brian, I'm glad you found it again. It is a real beauty. I tried to find more about that arched gate, but sorry, I can't. It looks very special. ☺♥☺

this is a wonderful looking float, love the colors, thank you. have a beautiful.

Great float! Love the toucans! As for the arched gate, it is an unusual and wonderful touch. I'm glad they kept it. It also looks as though it's supporting two balconies. Useful and decorative

Wow ,what a float...love the pretty shades of purple .
As for the archway I think it was part of an older building whichhas been pulled down but they have kept the beautiful gate ,sometimes they do it over here too.♥☺☺♥☺

Love the toucans - great float. Like Nev, I wonder if there is a serious point to it. That arch way is most unusual especially with the proximity of the window behind it.

Fabulous Toucans, thanks dear Ank, and I'm interested in the entrance to the house on the far left. How unusual. Hugs dear friend ♥♥♥
