FoYW’s note:
York’s city walls are sometimes called ‘the bar walls’ . The bars are the main gateways, this drawing puts the 4 main medieval bars together. Left to right, Walmgate Bar has Bootham Bar superimposed, this merges to the right with Monk Bar and then with Micklegate Bar followed by a short length of city wall seen from near the war memorial obelisk just inside the walls. This ends the depiction of York’s old defensive walls until the panorama ends with Clifford’s Tower, once the keep of the main royal castle which filled a gap in the city walls. The drawing emphasises Walmgate Bar’s battlemented barbican, which extends out from the old gateway tunnel under the main tower of the bar to its own, turret-defended gateway. It is York’s only remaining barbican in the city wall. The archway to the right is from Victorian times to let traffic into the city.
