MINSTER GATES
Here stood one of the entrance gates into the Minster Liberty,
for foot traffic only. There have been posts here for probably
600 years. The approach was at one time called Bookland Lane
and, after the coming of printing, Bookbinders' Alley, because
of its association with bookselling and printing.
Note the sign on the corner property (-->) depicting Minerva
(goddess of wisdom and drama) leaning on a pile of books.
