Description
The entrance gates to the former Worsley New Hall, along with the adjoining quadrant walls, date from around 1850 and are likely designed by Blore for the 1st Earl of Ellesmere. They were made by Cottam and Hallen of London. The gates are constructed from cast and wrought iron, with ashlar walls on either side. The design features double carriage gates flanked by smaller pedestrian gates, all supported by intermediate square piers made of iron bars. The gates showcase elaborate scrollwork at both the top and bottom, with the carriage gates rising to a Baroque-style scrolled head topped with the outline of a cartouche. The bold ashlar piers on either side have recessed panels and moulded caps, while the quadrant walls are pierced. These gates received an award when exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and were illustrated in The Builder on December 10, 1853.
