The other (gate) stood in the middle of the street, leading out of the Market Place, known by the name of the Dry Bridge (Bridge Street). This was know as the East Gate, and was taken down in the year 1784. Dr Stukeley says "… the fine old arched gate of Roman work (sic). The townspeople wonder at the name of Bridge, not discerning that it was really a a bridge over the ditch without the wall… In rebuilding the houses (here) they discovered the arches of the Bridge."

The position of the east bar near the middle of Bridge Street is now represented by nos 11 on the north side and 6 on the south. (2)
