History

The Clothmakers' Bastion, which defends the eastern corner of the town, was originally built by a goldsmiths' guild in the mid-15th century. In 1521-1522, the northeastern defences were reinforced by the construction of an additional outer wall, which moved this bastion further away from the corner of the town wall. To remedy this situation, an additional bastion was built over the wall, and the red tanners, living in Black Street, were charged with its protection.
