Title: West Gate, Southampton [Go to resource]
Description: Westgate Street is a medieval street leading down to the West Gate. This was one of the main entrances to the town in medieval and Tudor times from the River Test. Buildings important to the commerce of the town, including the Tin House and the Linen Hall, were situated here. In this illustration, West Gate is seen with a tiled roof. This was added in the eighteenth century and removed during restoration in the 1930s. The same view also exists with T H Skelton as lithographer (on SHOWcase, created by Southampton Libraries).
