Ward of Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate was one of the eastern gates in London's former defensive wall. The gate's name is traditionally attributed to Earconwald, who was Bishop of London in the 7th century. It was first built in Roman times and marked the beginning of Ermine Street, the ancient road running from London to York (Eboracum). The gate was rebuilt twice in the 15th and 18th centuries, but was permanently demolished in 1760.
Moorgate
Moorgate was one of the City of London's northern gates in its defensive wall, the last to be built. The gate took its name from the Moorfields, an area of marshy land that lay immediately north of the wall.
Ward of Cripplegate
Cripplegate was a gate in the London Wall which once enclosed the City of London, England.
Ludgate
Ludgate was the westernmost gate in London Wall. Of Roman origin, it was rebuilt several times and finally demolished on 30 July 1760. The name survives in Ludgate Hill, an eastward continuation of Fleet Street, Ludgate Circus and Ludgate Square. The gates' materials were sold for £148.

Yeongeunmun
Yŏngŭnmun () or Yeongeunmun Gate was a Joseon-era gate near present day Seoul, South Korea. Since it was a symbol of China's diplomatic influence on Joseon, the Enlightenment Party of the Joseon government intentionally demolished it in February 1895, seeking complete political independence of Joseon from China.
