Description

The gateway at the east entrance to Town Thorns is a structure built in 1873 by architect Alfred Waterhouse for Washington Jackson. It serves as the entrance to a country house. The gateway features ashlar gate-piers that have panelled sides, moulded plinths, a string course, and a dentiled cornice topped with a moulded cap. There are low brick walls on either side, which have moulded stone coping that ramps up to the piers. The wrought iron gates are adorned with scrollwork above the mid and top rails.
