Description

I Burrow commentary on OSRC: The OSRC location given for this gate [SO 7155 9300] seems to be dictated by the position of the town wall running west from the Post Office. There is now no sign of the wall here, and it is possible that the gate stood at SO 7155 9302. This would tally better with descriptions of siting at the top of Railway Street [<1a>] and at the entrance from the New Town into Listley Street <1b>.
