Description

Gatehouse with clock tower, former regimental offices, and guard room, built in 1856. The structure is of stock brick, laid partly in rusticated bands, with a hipped slate roof to the left (south-east) part and a flat roof to the right (north-west) part. It comprises a 3-arched gateway with a clock tower and lantern, flanked by single-storey ranges. A tall, central round-headed arch, with rusticated brick voussoirs projecting forward, is flanked by smaller arches, also with rusticated voussoirs. The central part has a brick cornice beneath a 4-faced clock tower with recessed corner pilasters, surmounted by a lantern with a modillion cornice and a pyramidal slate roof. The monumental arch is flanked by 3-bay arcades fronting the single-storey ranges, which have glazing-bar sash windows. The interior of the guard room (right part) retains a corridor with 3 small, unlit cells and two groups of 5 larger cells, some with wooden beds. An end door leads to a walled exercise yard.
