Description

The gate piers and gates at the north approach of Adlington Hall date from the late 17th century. They are made of rusticated ashlar sandstone and stand on moulded plinths. Each pier features a projecting moulded band beneath a projecting moulded capstone, which is stepped and topped with a ball finial. Between the piers, there is a pair of iron gates constructed from closely spaced square bars, some of which have serpentine points. The right-hand gate includes a smaller gate within it. Behind the piers are raking octagonal cast-iron posts that have ten horizontal bands and a shaped top, which allows the gates to be fastened when open. These gates closely resemble those located at the end of the lime avenue in the hall's gardens, which are dated 1688.
