| has gloss | eng: Newgate at the west end of Newgate Street was one of the historic seven gates of London Wall round the City of London and one of the six which date back to Roman times. From it a Roman road led west to Silchester. Excavations in 1875, 1903 and 1909 revealed the Roman structure and showed that it consisted of a double roadway between two square flanking guardroom towers. From the twelfth century, at least, the gate was used as a prison for debtors and felons. This, the infamous Newgate prison, was later extended to the south on the site of the modern Old Bailey. The gate was demolished in 1767. |
