Northern Gate To Flaybrick Hill Cemetery

The northern gate to Flaybrick Hill Cemetery, built between 1862 and 1864 by Lucy and Littler, is constructed from coursed and squared stone and features cast-iron gates. The main gate has a separate side entry and is set within a wall that has raking coping. The main gateway is designed with a stilted arch supported by corbels, topped with a stepped gable that includes a quatrefoil at the apex. Although the gates are currently missing, the archway is partially blocked. To the left, there is a foot gate with a simpler moulded arch beneath a steep coped gable. The cast-iron gates are decorated with scrollwork. Between the two gates, there is a foliate niche intended for a fountain, which has an ornate triangular hood mould and an enriched corbel that supports a granite basin.
