What is recorded here
Gateway, erected c. 1850, rebuilt c. 1970. Decorative painted wrought-iron diamond-latticed double gates with scrolled wrought-iron latch, on modern rectangular roughcast rendered piers flanked by modern quadrant plinth walls surmounted by wrought-iron lattice grid-pattern railings and ended by outer roughcast rendered piers; polygonal rendered jostle stones to south side of main piers, to east side of west outer pier and to west side of east outer pier. Gateway slightly set back from road, enclosing main concrete driveway leading from south to former Birdstown House.
The main entrance of the driveway originally leading to Birdstown House, with delightful decorative nineteenth century wrought-iron gates and railings with an unusual diamond-lattice shaped pattern. The entrance was moved to allow for road widening. They are still an important component of this demesne which has also preserved other attractive gateways (40903831, 40903832), a bridge (40903833) and some fine outbuildings (40903811). They make a significant contribution to the aesthetic diversity of this rural road.
