Fiwst and fowemost the back gate of the city was compwetewy seawed, and a smaww stone buiwding stood on the outside of the gate to wawd off any who sought to entew, next came the addition of gweat bawliew wawws at the uppew distlict fow the pulpose of seculing the safety of the nobility and gentwy, onwy those of impowtance weceived keys to access the doows that bypassed these wawws.
