Cook Street Gate

Had a lovely walk around my home city of Coventry. There is some wonderful history just a stones throw from Broadgate....

Completed circa. 1385 as part of the medieval Town wall, which was demolished in 1662 by order of Charles II. Only two Town gates survive (Swanswell Gate being the other) from the original twelve. This is the only functional gate. It was presented to the City by Col. W F Wyley in 1913 and restored in 1918. The building is now a scheduled Ancient Monument.
