Description
The quadrant walls, curtain walls, and gate piers to Wardown Park Lodge are located to the south of the lodge and are attached to it. The structure features a curved red brick quadrant wall that ends in an octagonal brick pillar with a stone base and cap. Flanking a gateway on the south side of the lodge are a pair of red brick curtain walls, one of which is attached to the lodge. These walls are pierced by four archways supported by stone engaged columns and terminate in similar grey brick piers. There is an additional quadrant wall to the south. This structure is included for its association with Wardown Park.
