Today this parade of shops sit by a much busier road than the one we see here.
It is an elegant single arch with a tall, pyramid-roofed tollhouse, and so named because of the original crossing toll.
Puriton's brick and tile industry has now gone, but Middle Street is much the same today. Biggs' general store (right), now the post office, sits here above Good's Farm.
Turning left out of Castle Hill, Bailgate follows the course of the Roman Ermine Street towards the old Roman north gate from the city, the Newport Arch.
It still looks sad, but repairs started in 1998 for a much hoped for re-opening.
On the extreme right is a disused limekiln with two arches.
The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the Newmarket.
The sycamore tree was cut down amid great hue and cry in 1953 because it was thought to be damaging the arch.

The earlier picture shows little traffic bar the donkey cart, but the advent of the car meant that by 1949 a traffic warden was needed to control traffic through the arch.
In the background is the 16th-century five-arched stone bridge which gave the village its name.
To the right of the arch is Apsley House, one of only two or three of Piccadilly's great houses to survive.
It has been radically expanded within the last decade with the construction of a much larger extension, and no longer provides accommodation.
The track is the main line between Paddington and Exeter, and here is carried above the River Carey on the back of a five-arch viaduct.
Spanning the narrow street of this hill-top village, which rests high on the chalk uplands overlooking the River Nar, is this monumental arch, ancient gateway to the castle, which lies ruinous close
A Watney's Red Barrel illuminated sign (a much-advertised keg beer of the time) hangs below the main sign.
From Tyrley the canal crosses the Tern by a single-arched aqueduct and crosses the border into Shropshire.
The most unusual feature of St Matthew's is an arched passageway underneath the chancel.
Notice the arch on the right, built to help ease the passage of water during times of flood. The view upstream beyond the bridge is to Pendle Hill, whose summit is 1,745 feet above sea level.
The road passes through the walls between the two arches, and the walk around the surviving walls of York is still one of the finest ways to see the city.
The arched tombs beneath the window date from the 14th century.
The design and construction of this interesting steel bowstring arch bridge (by John Webster, built in 1906), was the subject of an article in 'The Engineer' in 1907.
The west side of the street (right) was completely rebuilt between the 1880s and 1908 to create a much wider thoroughfare.
Built in Ham stone (of course), it has a hipped slate roof carried on three shallow arches each side with Tuscan columns attached.
