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:
“The sucking milk from this our body sends through
jolts of light; the son, the father,
sharing mother’s joy
That brings a softness to the flower of the awesome
open curling lotus gate I cup and kiss”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
