Description

The forecourt wall, railings, and gates to number 187, along with the wall to the south, date from the 18th century and are made of stuccoed brick. The wall features paired piers with a stone cornice and ball finials at the entrances, and a taller central pair with urn finials. The 19th-century wrought iron railings include a left single gate and a central double gate, while the right gateway has been walled up. The south wall is constructed of red brick, topped with high sloped coping and buttresses. This structure, along with numbers 187, 189, and 191, forms a cohesive group.
