More about this scene
Fit men who were claiming poor relief provided the labour which helped to redevelop The Walks. This area dates back to the Middle Ages. This gate was manned for almost twenty- four hours, and was used to collect tolls from visitors and merchants on their way through to the town. During the Black Death, it was locked at night in an attempt to keep out unwanted criminals or those who it was thought might be carrying the plague.
