Traffic entering the town from the south passes through the gate, but southbound traffic has passed it since London Road was widened in 1899. The Grade I listed gate tower is of red-brick and dates from the 15th century, but the ashlar face intended to impress visitors to Lynn was added in 1520. Nigel Mykura's Image] shows the north side.
