What is recorded here

Entrance gates, erected c. 1860, having double-leaf cast-iron vehicular gate flanked by matching pedestrian gates, with square-plan cut granite piers having carved lintels, cornices and stepped caps over pedestrian openings. Rendered curved flanking walls with cut granite plinth and capping, terminating in matching square-plan cut granite piers with carved cornices and having cut granite wheel-guards. Single-storey former gate lodge to interior of site.

This entrance was associated with the big house known as yew Park (earlier Elm View) and is an eye-catching reminder of the now demolished house. It forms an interesting feature on Castle Avenue and is part of a notable group with the altered gate lodge and the former workers' houses to the east. The stone carving shows considerable skilled artisanship, and the arrangement is well designed and executed.

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