Description

The forecourt wall, railings, and gate piers serving numbers 15-17 were constructed in the mid-19th century. The structure features a stone dwarf wall that is partially painted, complemented by iron railings and red brick gate piers. There are two pairs of gate piers topped with flat stone caps, which are flanked by railings that incorporate waggon-wheel motifs and cast iron lion masks. The return railings are present only on the left side.
