Sea Gate

The Sea Gate Gatehouse has two D-Shaped towers and a guard-room over the roadway. It has a Portcullis, Twin Gates of Oak and a Draw-Bridge. The North Tower has access to a stair that leads up to a postern in the Old Walls Citadel's outer wall, and the south tower contains a stair down to river-level with access to a protected stone jetty at which stores can be unloaded. This arrangement allows direct supply of the Old Walls Citadel without passing through the city.
