Solsborough House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1840, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of lichen-spotted rusticated granite ashlar piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having ogee-detailed cornices below finial-topped capping supporting arrow head-detailed wrought iron double gates. Now disused. One of a pair. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Solsborough House.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at an entrance on to the grounds of the Solsborough House estate, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the eighteenth-century country house annotated as "Rahain [of] Richards Esqr." by Taylor and Skinner (1778, pl. 142; cf. 157020--).

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
