Once this gate controlled access to Hyde Abbey. Originally it was at least two stories high. Beside the through passage was a porter’s lodge with a stair to an upper room. Next to the lodge was a room with a latrine set into the far wall, which probably provided accommodation for important guests. It now houses display panels telling the story of Hyde Abbey. Founded by Alfred the Great originally in the city centre, it was moved to Hyde in 1110 when the city became over-crowded.
