South Gate
The South Gate is one of the four gates of Oxford, standing at the end of Angel Way and facing the bridge and the London road. Its men note every stranger, politely. The Golden Sheaf coaching inn stands outside it at the bridge foot, and the Nag’s Head, the ostlers’ and post riders’ house, is close by. Among the public houses near it is one whose back room neither precinct officers nor city constables can easily reach.
