Southgate Street

Southgate Street is one of the ancient streets in the City of Gloucester, so named because its southern end was originally the location of the south gate in the city's walls.

The part beyond the gate as far as Severn Street was sometimes known as Lower Southgate Street.

[1] It runs from the crossroads of Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate, and Westgate Streets in the north (The Cross) to Bristol Road in the south.

The street dates from at least 1500 when the southern gate in the city's defences was approximately where Commercial Road meets Southgate Street today.
