Description
The entrance gateway, dating from 1807 to 1815, is located on Leamouth Road in Blackwall Goods Yard. It features a pair of gatepiers connected by a later brick wall. The gatepiers are made of stuccoed brick with Portland stone bases. They have broad moulded designs, with the front faces having battered edges and pointed crests that resemble pylons, although the top of the left-hand pier is missing. Each pier has a Coade stone Caduceus emblem inset. This gateway originally served as an entrance to the East India Company's Cos Pepper group of Warehouses, and S P Cockerell was appointed as the surveyor to the company in 1806.
