DescriptionBootham Bar, York - geograph.org.uk - 608522.jpg
English: Bootham Bar, York Looking east from Monument Pond outside the City Art Gallery in St Leonard's Place. Bootham Bar is built on the site of a much older Roman gateway in the city walls at York, the earliest pieces of the remaining structure dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. Until the 13th century the gate was known as Galmanlith or Gate of Galmou, the name of the hill on which St. Mary's Abbey was built. In 1501 an enormous door knocker was fitted at Bootham Bar and any visiting Scots had to knock and wait for permission to enter from the Lord Mayor, the Warden or the Constable.
