Description
The retaining wall, steps, and railings bordering Hollow Stone in Nottingham were constructed around 1740 and have been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is made of brick with a rendered finish, topped with ashlar coping and steps, and features a wrought-iron railing. The wall is approximately 60 meters long and varies in height with the slope of the ground, reaching a maximum height of about 3 meters. Near the center, there are two large segment-arched entrances from the 19th century, each with panelled doors. To the west, there is an altered garage opening with a lintel, followed by two segment-arched doorways. The wall is topped with a spiked wrought-iron railing, and at the west end, there are three sections of scrolled railing that have been resited. At the east end, there is a flight of steps with winders, which also features the same wrought-iron balustrade and railing. This structure was likely built when Hollow Stone was widened in 1740.
