GV II
Archway succeeding former gateway carrying the City Wall over
Pepper Street. 1937-8. By Sir Walter Tapper and Michael
Tapper. Red sandstone. Designed to provide width and headroom
to a heavily trafficked street, the Newgate has a large
steeply-curved segmental archway flanked by 2 battered towers
with mock loops and hipped roofs of solid stone. The wall walk
rises by a flight of steps through each tower to reach the
necessary level above the archway. The arch has soffit of
rendered panels between 3 ribs. There are armorial shields and
Tudor roses for decoration. A stone stair in the south tower
descends to Park Street.
