Description
Gateway, erected c. 1870, comprising a pair of dressed limestone piers (on square-plan) having chamfered plinths, cut limestone capstones, and with a pair of decorative wrought-iron double-leaf gates. Located to the northwest end of Lanesborough.
Appraisal
This elegant gateway makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Lanesborough. The piers are well-crafted using good quality limestone while the decorative wrought-iron gates add further aesthetic value to this composition. This gateway may have been moved to its present site from another location or formed the entrance to an earlier building to site.
