Gateway, c.1870, comprising pair of open work wrought iron piers with wrought iron double gates, flanking pedestrian gates, rendered outer piers with moulded stringcourses and pyramidal capping having wrought iron gas lamp holders, rendered curved flanking walls with cut-stone coping and rendered terminating piers. Set back from line of dual carriageway with grass verge to front.
This gateway, which is an integral component of the Roseborough (House) estate, is an attractive feature on the side of the dual carriageway and serves to convey to the passer-by the opulence of the main house. The construction of the piers reveals a high quality of stone masonry practised in the locality while the gates are important examples of early surviving wrought iron work.
