Castle Gateway, Castle Lane — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Castle Gateway on Castle Lane in Southampton stands as a scheduled monument, marking the exact spot where the town once controlled who entered its defences. The lane still carries the name of that boundary, preserving the moment when a gate decided whether a stranger lived or left. Whatever structure rose above the threshold has vanished, but the location remains fixed in law and memory.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Gateway, Castle Lane as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
