Dowgate

Dowgate was a watergate opening to the Thames in Dowgate Ward, near Walbrook (Harben). According to Carlin and Belcher, Dowgate was a place where ships unloaded (Carlin and Belcher 72). According to Harben, Dowgate was called Duuegate, Douuegate, or Douegate, in the 12th and 13th centuries but because Stow mistook the second u for an n, the gate also became known as Downgate (Harben). According to Harben, the site is now occupied by Dowgate Dock (Harben).
