Fisher Gate, Medieval gate at The Quay, Sandwich, England
Fisher Gate features a three-storey structure with pointed stone arches, squared flints, and brick upper floors that demonstrate medieval construction techniques.
The lower section of Fisher Gate was constructed in 1384 as part of Sandwich's defensive walls, with the upper portions added in 1578.
This Grade I listed building stands as evidence of England's medieval port towns and their defensive requirements during times of coastal threats.
The gate remains accessible to visitors exploring The Quay area, serving as an entry point to the historic section of Sandwich.
Original portcullis grooves remain visible in the center arch, revealing the gate's former defensive mechanisms used to control access to the town.
