Bluegate is a pleasant little street of red-brick cottages, just south of St Wulfram's. This shot was taken from near the Blue Pig, in Swinegate, while the street to be seen at the far end of Bluegate is Castlegate. Lincolnshire was once part of the old Danelaw, so place names - including street names - reflect Danish influence. 'Gate' in these street names derives from a Scandinavian word meaning 'street', and doesn't imply there was ever a 'gate' here, in the sense in which we now understand it.
