Northgate Street
Northgate Street is a street in the City of Gloucester, so named because its northern end was originally the location of the north gate in the city's walls.
The street runs from the crossroads of Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate, and Westgate Streets in the south (The Cross) to London Road in the north. It is joined by St John's Lane, Hare Lane, and Worcester Street on the north side and The Oxebode, St Aldate Street, and Spread Eagle Road on the south side.
History
[edit | edit source]Northgate Street dates from at least 1455. The gate to the city's inner defences was roughly between St John's Church and where Hare Lane joins Northgate Street now, while the outer gate was to the east, as Northgate Street took an eastwards turn. The part of the street between the two was known as Lower Northgate.[1] Part of the west end of the street was once known as Cordwainer's Row.[2]
