What is recorded here
Entrance gates, built c.1830, formerly leading to Clifton House, house now in use as a convalescent home. Ashlar limestone curved entrance walls with chamfered coping stones, surmounted by decorative cast-iron railings, with spear finials to east section. Square-profile ashlar limestone piers with recessed panels, plinths and flat caps having double-leaf decorative cast-iron gates. Three-bay single-storey gate lodge to east.
This handsome entrance forms an interesting and notable feature in the streetscape. Its curved walls and symmetrical form lend an air of elegance, which is enhanced by well-crafted materials such as the ashlar walls and piers. The decorative gates add artistic interest.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
