Victoria Bar is a relatively recent addition to York's City Walls, built in 1838 to address traffic congestion. Unlike the older gateways, Victoria Bar has a simpler design. It was named after Queen Victoria, who was crowned that same year. Initially, the Bar had only one archway for both vehicles and pedestrians. However, as traffic increased, two side arches were added specifically for pedestrians.
