The Stonebow is (was) the south gate of the City, dating from the late 15th Century to early 16th Century. It was built on the site of the Roman South Gate, which remained a medieval gateway for many years, until it was demolished in the late 14th Century for being unsafe. The present building which was restored and remodelled 1885-90, is a grade I listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 486050 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-486050-stonebow-and-guildhall-lincolnshire British Listed Buildings). The red telephone kiosk has been converted into an ATM (cash machine).
