Leicester: Magazine and Newark Gate, 1868. 'One of the most imposing buildings in Leicester is the Newark Gate, a massive structure, which has been restored, and the strength of which recalls its princely founder, John of Gaunt, the father of a line of Kings, whose existence was the indirect cause of more bloodshed than was ever spilt in any other cause in England'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
