Priory Gate, Lincoln by carole_sandford

Priory Gate, Lincoln

Built in 1825, this is the Victorian replacement for the medieval gate that stood here until 1815, when the original Roman Gate was torn down, as it was unsafe. This stands very close to the east side of the cathedral.
The Roman gate stood until 1815. It never ceases to amaze me what genial engineers the Romans were!

@rhernan amazing isn’t it! Theses days if a Roman building was falling down , it would be sympathetically repaired. The Victorian’s were quite destructive at times & just pulled it down!
