The entrance to the Riverside shopping complex is visible on the right on this former fire station building. Over the railings that the pedestrian is passing is a section of the River Slea. A water mill previously stood where this building now stands. The complex currently houses offices but date stones on the site bear the dates of the construction of the original fire station building, i.e. 1829 and this building, 1900. To the right Water Gate becomes West Banks, whilst on the left Water Gate joins South Gate (i.e. the B1517 road) within minutes.
