Cook Street Gate

Placeholder for Cook Street Gate black plaque

Cook Street Gate. Completed circa.1385 as part of the medieval town wall, which was demolished in 1662 by order of Charles II. Only two town gates have survived from the original twelve, this is the only functional gate. Presented to the city by Col. W. F. Wyley in 1913 and restored in 1918. The building is now a scheduled ancient monument.
