GV II

Includes: Walls fronting Manor Lodge MANOR ROAD Portslade. Boundary wall. C18 and late C19. Unknapped flint, some red brick, cement render and coping, yellow stock bricks to entrance range. Plan: late C19 rebuilding of central stretch of wall creating the entrance to Manor Lodge (qv), earlier walls continued south and north, the latter returned to Manor Road, about 200m in all. C19 walls: 4:7 bays, curved to entrance, square piers set in wall, pyramid tops, chamfered brick coping to wall, both with roll-moulded cornice, moulded plinth, entrance piers identical but obscured by ivy at time of survey. Wall continued south, about 1.5m high, with unknapped flint and small brick buttresses inserted. Wall to north rises to around 2.5m with courses of brickwork, and brickwork dividing the wall into panels at section returned to Manor Road where it is only about 1.5m; cement coping. There is a round-arched doorway blocked about 30m north of the entrance. The entrance to Manor Lodge (qv) was probably resited in the late C19, hence the new stretch of walls.
