An interesting gateway on Yorkersgate
This rather fancy 18th century gateway looks out of place here, and this is probably a correct assumption as it was almost certainly moved at some point in the 19thC - but from where? The gateway is almost opposite the Talbot Hotel and is thought to have been erected here to give guests access to the newly constructed stable yard [now a food court] on the other side of the road. It has been suggested that the design was by Vanbrugh, but there is no proof of this at present.
