Pottergate, Lincoln. Castle gate
York and Lincoln have streets called Pottergate, for example. Some industries required open spaces: brickmakers needed to dig clay and earth, stack bricks to dry and fire them in kilns, whilst dyers stretched their coloured cloths over drying frames called ‘tenters’, arrayed in the fresh air. These occupations, like weavers, millers and bakers, might still be recorded in place-names.
