Bondgate Tower, Medieval gate tower in Alnwick, England.
The three-story stone Bondgate Tower features a central archway passage with two polygonal towers on each side of the entrance.
King Henry V granted permission to construct the tower in 1434, and the structure was completed around 1450 as part of Alnwick's defensive walls.
The structure bears the name of Sir Henry Percy, known as Harry Hotspur, a notable figure from the Percy family who controlled Alnwick.
Modern vehicles must follow specific height restrictions when passing through the tower's archway, with alternative routes available for taller transport.
The weathered Percy Lion emblems remain visible on the tower's exterior, marking the family's connection to this Grade I listed monument.
