Iron Gate

Iron Gate was an entry gate into the Tower of London on its eastern side near the Thames. According to Stow, the gate was great and strong but not often opened (Stow 1633, sig. E4r). It was built in the late fourteenth century on a plot of land that once contained mills belonging to St. Katherine’s Hospital (Carlin and Belcher Tower of London; Stow 1598, sig. D4r). The gate is labelled Iron Gate on the 1520 map (A Map of Tudor London, 1520).
