The image depicts an exterior view of Red Lion Yard, Colchester, United Kingdom, seen from High Street. The scene is dominated by a mature tree with dense green and some yellowing foliage overhead, partially obscuring the overcast sky. In the mid-ground, a historic brick archway serves as a central feature, providing access into Red Lion Yard. To the left of the archway, a half-timbered building with a pinkish render and a red tiled roof is visible, featuring white-framed windows. A "Book Shop" sign is mounted on the brick section below this building. To the right of the archway, a lighter-colored building houses "Café Meades," identified by a blue sign and various menu boards at its entrance. Above the archway, brickwork includes small windows and decorative elements. In the upper left quadrant, a modern building with dark, horizontally-paneled siding is partially visible. Two individuals are present: In the lower left, a person wearing dark clothing and a backpack is cycling away from the viewer. Underneath the archway, another person, dressed in dark attire, walks away from the viewer, entering the yard. The foreground features a paved ground surface with dark bollards. A black wrought-iron fence or railing is visible along the right edge of the frame.
