Fishergate Bar

Visited 19 March 2006

Besides the four major bars, there are a few smaller gates on the walls.  This one, Fishergate Bar, as you can see, is closed to traffic.  Actually it was blocked up after the 1489 riots protesting the rule of Henry Tudor who defeated Richard III.  It took a while for the Yorkies to let it go.  This originally had a portcullis and possibly a barbican.  It was reopened to pedestrian traffic in 1827.
