Description
The Cherry Lane entrance to Anfield Cemetery, dated 1864, is an entrance and tunnel under the railway designed by Lucy and Littler. It is constructed of snecked stone and features three segmental pointed arches with gates, although the central and left-hand arches are now blocked. The central arch displays the arms of Liverpool with supporters beneath three canopies. The side arches include drip moulds and a date plaque, with the Liverpool arms positioned above. Inside, the tunnel vault is in the center, flanked by open arcading leading to pedestrian aisles, which are also segmental tunnel vaulted. An octagonal turret is located at one angle, featuring a moulded base on a squat column, a lancet, and a short spire with gablets at the base. The opposite angle has a parapet supported on squinches. The cemetery facade is treated in a similar manner.
