A bit of history
A Grade II listed coaching inn on Walmgate. The first recorded pub on the site was the City Arms in 1702; the building was rebuilt in the late 18th century and traded as the Five Lions until 2015, when it became the Watergate Inn. The old stabling has been converted into the guest rooms. Wikipedia calls it the last survivor of the 20 pubs Walmgate had in 1901.
Source: Wikipedia, 'The Watergate Inn'; the pub's own homepage (thewatergateinn.com) confirms the coaching-inn origins and the stable conversion
