Old prison with freshly made entranceway (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newgate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old prison' is the definition.
(former London prison)

'with freshly made entranceway' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'freshly' becomes 'new' (synonyms).
'made entranceway' becomes 'gate' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new'+'gate' is 'NEWGATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newgate that I've seen before include "Prison formerly standing on site of the Old Bailey" , "Old Nick" , "Old London prison" , "prison long ago" , "Former London prison" .)
