Description
The gate piers and flanking boundary walls at the entrance to Kingston Terrace were built around 1826. They are made of ashlar for the piers and coursed squared gritstone for the walls. The square piers are approximately 2 meters high and feature a cornice, entablature, and a shallow pyramidal capstone. The boundary walls connect to No. 1 Kingston Terrace on the left side of the gate piers and extend to the right along the road for about 1 meter before turning north along the former Eldon Walk for approximately 30 meters. These walls are around 1.5 meters high and have rounded coping stones, with the northern section being lower in height. Originally, the entrance to Kingston Terrace included a lodge and likely a third gate pier, which created a combined carriage and pedestrian gateway.
