Bar Gate

Southampton

The plaque on the side reads
"Bar Gate and Guildhall
During the 12th Century this Northern gateway to the medieval town was a single round archway.
In the 13th century two round towers were added and early in the 15th century the north front was extended.

The Guildhall now a museum was formerly the town's administrative centre and used for public functions and for performances by companies of strolling players"
