Beverley Bar, Medieval gate in Beverley, England
The brick structure features an archway with buttresses, carved stone coat of arms, and recessed windows showcasing medieval English architectural elements from 1409.
Initially constructed to collect tolls and protect the town, the gate underwent reinforcements during the English Civil War with the addition of chains and portcullis.
The gate served as a viewing platform for local governors during Corpus Christi festivals in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Modern traffic passes through the narrow archway regulated by signal lights, allowing only one vehicle at a time for safety purposes.
This Grade I listed building remains the sole surviving brick-built town gate from medieval Beverley, positioned between North Bar Without and Within sectors.
