Minster Gates

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.
