What is recorded here
Pair of ashlar limestone gate piers, c. 1870, with limestone copings and wheel guard. Replacement railings and gates.
These gate piers formerly related to the Greenmount Schools which were established during the latter part of the nineteenth century in this area of the city. Though the buildings which this entrance once lead to are now demolished, these piers and the former school building located to the south are interesting reminder of the role the religious institution played in the development of this part of the city. The well-executed ashlar limestone contrasts with the modern materials utilised for similar purposes in the streetscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
