The stone arch gives the St Alban quarter a tangible threshold and a reminder of the old city defences. From the gate, the surrounding lanes lead toward the area's paper-making heritage, making this a good transition between an architectural stop and a district walk. The exterior is the reason to visit; it does not require a long standalone appointment.
