Description
The colonnade, located by the lake to the south of Heaton Hall in Heaton Park, Manchester, is a Grade II* listed structure. Originally part of the facade of the original Manchester Town Hall, it was removed and re-erected here in 1912. Designed by Francis Goodwin around 1822-1824, the colonnade is constructed of sandstone ashlar and is in the Ionic style. It features four giant fluted Ionic columns in antis, flanked by one-bay screens that have pairs of pilasters adorned with palmette and anthemion decorations on the caps and the frieze. At ground level, there is a doorway, and above it, a coved niche holds a statue, all beneath a heavy entablature that includes an egg-and-dart string, cornice, and parapet.
