The Riding Gate inn was close by the City wall and a junction of Old Dover Road and Upper Bridge Street, similarly to the Duke of York inn. It was a solid looking building, a Fremlin's house and still there in 1940.
In 1882 the directory named G Whiddett as innkeeper and he was still there in 1889. In 1901 the inn was purchased by Beer and Rigden (brewers) for £2000. Probably demolished for road improvements when the ring road was built.
