Saddler Street


Saddler Street in Durham runs from the Market Place to North Bailey and Owengate. The street is named after Sir Ralph Saddler, who was the Commissioner in Durham for King Henry VIII. In Medieval times Saddler Street was the main route for horse-drawn traffic to the Cathedral; at the south end of the street was the North Gate, built by Bishop Langley in the early 15th century. The gatehouse later served as the county jail. The North Gate was taken down in 1820, after a new prison was built; a section of the old gatehouse was incorprated into assembly rooms at Nos. 47-48 Saddler Street (now Salvation Army Sanctuary 21).
