The Foregate (1975)
Anonymous
To the north of the Cross,
the site of the Foregate marked the northern boundary
of the medieval city. The large gate spanned the street
at this point and beyond a suburb extended along the present
Foregate Street. This photograph shows the group of fine
18th and 19th century buildings at the south end of Foregate
Street as they were in 1975. Notice that the traffic was
still able to travel south.
