Description

The service courtyard retaining wall and adjoining outbuildings next to Pitchford Hall were built in the 1870s and 1880s, likely designed by George Devey. The structure features coursed sandstone rubble with a red brick parapet and sandstone coping, rising to the east. It is L-shaped with a rounded corner, forming the south and west sides of the service courtyard, measuring approximately 45 meters long and 4 meters high.

In the south-west corner, there is an outbuilding made of sandstone rubble with a lean-to plain tile roof and a lean-to loggia attached to the north. The south-east corner contains kennels constructed of rendered brick with some planted timbers, featuring a lean-to plain tile roof and an open front supported by sandstone ashlar columns with clustered shafts and moulded bases. This wall and the adjoining buildings are likely part of the alterations and additions made by George Devey at Pitchford Hall during the 1870s and 1880s.
