Description
The gate piers and gates at the entrance to Meols Hall are a pair of structures that were formerly located at the South Lodge of Bold Hall and were moved to this site, likely in the 1950s. They date from around 1800 and are made of sandstone ashlar. The piers are approximately 1 meter square and 3 meters high, featuring rusticated stone with moulded cornices and shallow flat tops.
The gates consist of double carriage gates and single pedestrian side gates, designed in a simple spear-headed style. The carriage gates have arch bracing, while the side gates feature cross-bracing. Both sets of gates are hung on elaborate open-work standards that are rectangular in shape, adorned with acorn finials at the corners, and decorated with scrolled and circular motifs between the intermediate bars. The standards are topped with tall scrolled brackets that hold lamp-holders.
These gate piers and gates form a group with Nos 100 and 102, located approximately 10 meters to the north-west, and with the Hesketh Arms opposite.
