Text Appearing Before Image:
7. The top of this gate is covered with lead, and commands a most interesting prospect of the surrounding country. Bootham bar stands on the north-west side of the city, on the road to Durham, Btlmm b&r.Newcastle, Edinburgh, &c. This bar is chiefly built of the grit stone generally used by the Romans, andhas a circular arch similar to Micklegate bar. The architecture is Gothic, and isat present tolerably perfect, with port-cullis, barbican, &c.; but it has a moremodern appearance than any of the other bars. On the outer front of the barare placed two shields, with the arms of the city, over which is a shield within agarter greatly defaced. On the turrets, which are circular without battlements, are placed figures similarto those mentioned at Micklegate. The barbican is the most perfect in York, andhas embattled turrets at the angles. In the year 1719, the inside of the gate was rebuilt with freestone. On the * Hargraves Hist, of York, ii. p. li. published 1818.3s
Text Appearing After Image:
■y i THE COUNTY OF YORK. 251 Attached to the city front is an extraneous erection of wood and plaster of two chap.iii.stories; the lower is supported by two Tuscan columns ; the front of the first storyis also adorned with two columns of the same order; the second has Ionic pillarswith an architrave and cornice. The old gate is perfect, with a wicket, and aboveis the port-cullis. On the east side is a modern way for foot passengers. Thebarbican is evidently of later date than the gate, having a pointed arch, probablyof the time of Edward III. On the front are the royal arms of Henry V. Thewhole has a venerable appearance. Between Walmgate bar and the castle is an ancient gateway, now walled up, Fishergatecalled Fishergate bar, of which Leland speaks in the following terms: It wasburnt in Henry the Sevenths tyme, by the commons of Yorkshire, who took thecittye and would have beheaded Sir Richard Yorke, lord mayor—it has ever sincebeen blocked up. This gate was re-opened in June, 18
