Entrance Gateway, Hoop Lane Jewish Cemetery

The entrance gateway to Hoop Lane Jewish Cemetery features gate piers and gates that are believed to have been designed by Davis and Emanuel for the cemetery's opening in 1896.

The gateway is constructed from red brick with stone bases and caps, which are now painted, while the gates are made of wrought iron. It consists of two tall inner piers and two shorter outer piers that define the pedestrian entrances. The piers are designed as squared columns, with two pilasters on each face, rising through a frieze to a capping that features a shallow dome over segmental pediments. There is a beaded detail at the corners. The wrought-iron gates are elaborate, featuring central roundels and scrolling along the edges. On the south side, small round-topped bollards protect the inner corners of the carriage gateway, while on the north side, substantial concrete buffers have been added to manage vehicle passage.
