Monument record TR 15 NW 2263 - Medieval Ridingate, City Walls
Summary
During the Medieval period the Ridingate was a minor gate and was temporarily walled up in the 15th century. The gate was reopened, and possibly enlarged, in 1430. The gate remained relatively well maintained until 1782 when the streets of the city were widened for larger carriages and the gate was destroyed.
