The sign of The Gate is usually associated with a toll gate, church gate or town gate. The road names around the sign on the left also reveal some clues to the former locality - Two Gates and Colley Gate. Although the area is properly called Cradley, many use the road name of Colley Gate to describe the district. This short length of road has an entry in the Halesowen Parish Register of 1695 as Coley Geat. It is thought that Colley (or Coley) is the name of the man who supervised the gate here on the turnpike road. The gate marked the boundary between two turnpike roads which were sanctioned under Acts of Parliament in 1762 and 1781 respectively. The second sign is located in the Warwickshire village of Nether Whitacre. The pub used to have two red gates hanging from each side of the building. The old gate on the Tamworth Road side had to be replaced in 2000 because it had deteriorated. It was good to see the tenants maintaining the fine tradition of the pub's sign by replicating the original. The third sign can be found in Osbaston.
