Can anyone help with this photo please? Any thoughts welcome, i.e. where/what's happening/what's through the gateway? I guess if someone could translate the writing that would be useful! Apologies for the poor quality but it is a negative that I have scanned (hopefully the correct way around!) and then just reversed the colours. It was taken sometime between mid 1937 and late 1939. Thanks.

Thanks 'moddsey'.

Here is a better version of the same Walled Village image (thanks to IDJ).
