Kaleyard's Gate

The Kaleyard's Gate used to be the only legal opening in the Walls other than the main gates, and had to be locked at 9pm every evening. This carried on until a few years ago, but is now, sadly, a defunct custom. The Kaleyards, incidentally, were where the monks grew their vegetables, back in the day when what is now a Cathedral was a Monastery.
