Description
Bridge, drive walls, and gate piers on the north approach to Longhirst Hall date from the early 19th century. They are made of tooled-and-margined stone. The many-stepped walls, which have gabled coping, flank the approach to the Hall and form the parapets of a bridge with a semicircular arch and arch ring. At the west end of the drive, plain piers flank the lane that continues west, while square piers with pyramidal caps, which hold a late 19th-century ornamental wooden gate, flank the Hall entrance on the south. To the east, the north wall ends in a square pier with a pyramidal cap, and the south wall is not of interest beyond a later entry to the Hall gardens.
