city gate, historical layer / disappeared object

Moorgate was a gate in the London wall between Cripplegate and Bishopsgate. Despite being the most well-preserved thanks to the tube and railway station, it was one of the least important leading out onto Moorfields. Originally a small door in the wall, it became a proper gate in the 15th century but was demolished in 1762.
The street called "Moorgate" originally ran through the gate out to Moorfields, a small area of moorland that was used as a camp for people left homeless in the Great Fire of London. Moorgate has a tube station which is served by the Circle, Metropolitan, H&C and Northern Lines as well as some National Rail services.
The 8 gates to the City of London are:
1. Cripplegate
2. Aldgate
3. Aldersgate
4. Ludgate
5. Bishopsgate
6. Moorgate
7. Newgate
8. Traitors Gate
