Many of Nottingham’s street’s have a story to tell, some related to the name itself and some to events and incidents that happened on them.
In Nottingham any thoroughfare with “Bar” in it’s name denotes one that would bar or block your passage at some point or time; as in a Toll Bar, a point where you would have to pay to continue along that route.
Any thoroughfare with “Gate” in it’s name denotes “Place” or “Place of” from: C13: Old Norse, gata, path.
