Description
The garden boundary walls to the former Whitworth Estate garden, located on Whitworth Road, Foggs Hill, and Bent Lane, were built around the 1870s. They may have been constructed by T. Roger Smith in 1872 or E. M. Barry in 1879, both of whom worked on Stancliffe Hall for Sir Joseph Whitworth, an industrialist. The walls are made of Derbyshire grit stone, which is dressed, coursed, and rock-faced, featuring saddle-back coping that is also rock-faced. The walls have curved corners, and at the entrance, they rise to rock-faced grit stone piers with caps. The wall at the north end is lower and once supported iron railings, which are now missing. A Victorian post box is set into the southwest corner. Along with the east garden boundary wall of Stancliffe Hall, these walls are a prominent feature of Darley Hillside.
