Eastgate is a historic street and suburb in the town of Bourne, Lincolnshire, running alongside the Bourne Eau. It was associated with the town’s pottery industry in mediaeval times, which came to an end after a fire in 1637, and later became the centre of Bourne's automotive industry in the 20th century. It is the site of several notable buildings, including The Anchor Inn public house, and Eastgate House, a large Regency style property that was home to racing driver Raymond Mays.
