Sandwich (5), Kent
Fishergate can be found at the bottom of Quay Lane where it emerges onto the Quay.
The lower part of the gate, made of flint and stone and retaining its portcullis groove, dates from 1384 and the upper half, of yellow brick with red diaper work, dates from 1571. This gate formed part of the town's fortification ordered by Richard II.
15th century timber framed house in Loop Street. You can see that the upper floor is jettied with curved supporting brackets and the ground floor has brick infilling with the upper floor infilling being plaster.

The Old Drum in Church Street St. Mary's dating from around 1450. This is now a private house but was once an inn and has an "Historic Buildings of Kent" plaque on the wall next to the door.

Sandwich Weavers in Strand Street was originally a home and workshop for 16th-century Dutch refugees. I understand that there is still a loom on the premises although no longer used.
