What is recorded here
Gateway, built 1843, comprising pair of squared sandstone piers with cut-stone capping having finials, wrought iron double gates having decorative finials, wrought iron flanking pedestrian gates having decorative finials, and squared sandstone outer piers with cut-stone capping having finials. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of site of Kilcalf School
An elegantly-composed gateway incorporating fine stone work together with early-surviving wrought iron gates, the decorative quality of which enhances the artistic design importance of the composition. The gateway makes an attractive impression in the streetscape, and contributes significantly to the character of a site that has been comprehensively redeveloped in the late twentieth century. The site is of additional importance for its historic associations with the Devonshire estate.
