The history of one of London’s first gates, through Roman, Saxon, Tudor and Georgian times.

(A historical marker located in City of London in Greater London, England, United Kingdom.)

Sometimes used as a prison and to display the remains of gruesomely executed traitors. Taken down and rebuilt in 1617, damaged in the Great Fire of 1666 but not finally removed until 1761, to improve traffic access. See Cripplegate for the full list of 8 gates of old London.
