Cook Street Gate, Medieval city gate in St Michael's, Coventry, England.
Cook Street Gate features red sandstone walls measuring 8 feet thick and 12 feet high, with restored battlements and a rebuilt window.
The gate was constructed in the 14th century as part of Coventry's defensive walls, which extended 2.2 miles and included twelve designated entrance points.
The structure represents one of only two remaining medieval gates in Coventry, reflecting the city's architectural evolution through different historical periods.
Visitors can access detailed information about the gate's architecture and restoration work through Historic England's official documentation and research archives.
A moat once flowed beneath a stone bridge leading to the gate, while an inn called 'Ye Old Tower Inn' was integrated into its wall structure.
