What is recorded here
Gateway, extant 1871, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of benchmark-inscribed limestone ashlar piers framing camber- or segmental-headed carriageway with spalled red brick voussoirs. Now disused. Street fronted at entrance to grounds of Bishop's Palace.
A gateway making a pleasing visual statement in an urban street scene at an obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Bishop's Palace estate: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
