About Bishopsgate

Bishopsgate, located in Surrey, was historically one of the eastern gates of London’s defensive wall, with its name linked to Earconwald, the 7th-century Bishop of London. Originally constructed during Roman times, it served as the starting point of Ermine Street, the ancient route connecting London to York. Although the gate underwent reconstructions in the 15th and 18th centuries, it was ultimately demolished in 1760. This historical context may be relevant for those researching planning applications in the area, particularly regarding heritage considerations.
