City Wall

Fishergate Postern Tower, located at the junction of Piccadilly and Lead Mill Lane in York, is an early Tudor tower that features a spiral staircase, a model portcullis, and a remarkably intact garderobe. Visitors can explore displays, including new replicas derived from recent archaeological findings, showcasing the historical significance of this structure as part of York's city walls.

The tower is managed by volunteers from the Friends of York Walls and hosts various events throughout the year, including free open days that encourage community engagement and highlight the rich heritage of the area. The site also aims to connect local residents, particularly those with Irish immigrant backgrounds, to the history surrounding the city walls.
