What is recorded here
This bronze commemorative plaque records: On this site formerly stood The Bridge Gate with the town hall over it. The gate was removed in 1777 and the town hall rebuilt in its present position at the cost of the Turnpike Road Trust.
The Bridge Gate once marked a significant entrance to Stamford, serving both as a defensive structure and housing the town hall above; its removal in 1777 reflects the changing urban planning priorities of the period.
