Gates,Gate Piers,Steps And Garden Ornaments To South West Of No 18

The garden features located to the southwest of No 18 are from the mid to late 19th century and are made of limestone and concrete. The gates are modern wrought iron designed to imitate 18th-century styles, featuring tendrils and bunches of grapes on serpentine-headed gates. The gate-piers are tall and rock-faced, adorned with low relief panels depicting classical-style figures and consoles. To the south of the gates, there are steps flanked by curved walls that end in stubby piers, leading over arches across a stone-revetted ditch. The garden ornaments include a balustrade along the terrace with curved coping, which is interrupted by a colonnade and a temple in a quasi-Doric style. Additionally, there are many ogee-topped finials with low relief decorations of grotesque heads. These features were originally part of the grounds of the now-demolished Whitburn Hall.
