About Newgate
Newgate, located in Lancashire, was one of the historic seven gates of the London Wall, with origins dating back to Roman times.

From the 12th century, portions of the gate were repurposed as a gaol, which eventually evolved into the infamous Newgate Prison. This rich historical backdrop may be relevant for those exploring planning applications in the area, particularly regarding heritage considerations.
