What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1909, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of cut-granite panelled piers on cut-granite plinths having cornices below fluted domed capping supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron double gates with cut-granite panelled outer piers on cut-granite plinths having cornices below fluted domed capping supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron serpentine railings. Now disused. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Thornhill.

A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a long obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Thornhill estate, but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the nineteenth century (Dean 2016, 166).

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