Batham Gate is the medieval name for a Roman road in Derbyshire, England, UK, which ran south-west from Templebrough on the River Don to Brough-on-Noe (Latin Navio) and the spa town of Buxton (Latin Aquae Arnemetiae). Gate means "road" in northern English dialects; the name therefore means "road to the bath town".
Famous quotes containing the word gate:
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 7:13.
