city gate, historical layer / disappeared object
This gate, like all the others in the city wall, is Roman in origin although the name is belived to have originated from King Lud (in 66BC) It is the most westerly gate to the city and is believed to have led directly to the roman road that ran west out of the city. As a result of excavations in the Fleet Street area, it is known that the Romans burried their dead along modern day Fleet Street, so this gate may have also had some religious significance to the Roman abroad.
