Description
The wall and gate piers to the forecourt car park of Number 18 Bank House, located on the north side of White Friars in Chester, are likely from the 18th century and incorporate a fragment of a medieval wall from a Carmelite Friary. The structure features English garden wall bond brickwork, with an average of 24 courses, topped with plain sandstone coping. There is a framed and boarded door beneath a sandstone lintel on the east side, and the plain gate piers support a wrought-iron lantern arch. The wall extends along the sides of the property, and on the west side, there is a section of coursed red sandstone, which is likely a remnant of the former Friary.
