Description
The revetment wall on the east side of Gloucester Terrace, part of Armley Prison, was constructed around 1847 by William Perkin and Elisha Backhouse. It is made of coursed rock-faced gritstone with ashlar coping. The wall is approximately 150 meters long and currently stands at a height of 3 to 4 meters, although it was originally taller due to the raising of the road level. Features include octagonal bollards with large moulded flat capstones, a crenellated parapet, sloping buttresses, and a blocked chamfered archway located to the right of the center. This wall is depicted in a drawing on Rapkin's Map of Leeds from 1850.
