Video demonstration that the locked door found in the Cathedral ward is the same door at the end of the Great Bridge.
I dropped some Shining Coins up against the door to serve as a maker that could be seen from both sides. This is not really a discovery nor a surprise, since there was already mounting support for this. I just wanted to provide solid evidence. :)
edit - According to eurogamer:
"Eurogamer has learned from someone close to the project that the mystery door did in fact open in a pre-release build of the game. Apparently there were no performance hiccups going from one area to another either. That means it was cut either for lore reasons, as a way to troll players, or to prevent people from being really underwhelmed by what would ultimately have been a fairly useless shortcut."
