Description
The entrance gateway to Beechley is a Grade II listed structure dating from around 1836. It serves as the entrance to a merchant's villa and features red sandstone ashlar gate piers and walls, along with wrought-iron gates. The gateway consists of an inner and an outer pair of gate piers connected by S-shaped walls. Both pairs of gate piers are square in section and approximately 3 metres high, topped with shallow moulded pyramidal caps. The inner pair is made of rusticated masonry, while the outer pair consists of plain monoliths. The S-shaped linking walls are nearly full height, featuring plinths and flat copings, with the outer sides faced with four courses of large rectangular grooved blocks. The inner pair of piers supports a pair of sturdy wrought-iron gates, which include plain bar railings, dog-bars that alternate between wavy and straight designs, and pairs of scrolled panels in the upper section. This gateway forms a group with the Beechley villa.
