Description
The Waterloo Street Arch is an archway that serves as the entrance to Dupont's Riding Academy, located at No. 11A Upper Market Street. It was built in 1877 and restored in 1986. The arch is made of render over brick and is positioned next to No. 22 to the north. It is a single-storey structure with one bay, featuring a segmental-headed archway opening that includes a keystone, a moulded entablature, and a small segmental pediment. The pilasters have recessed panels with a diamond motif at the center of each pier. The arch was constructed by Dupont in the same year he took over the Riding Academy, which was situated in the former Brunswick Market. It is unclear if the arch was part of an existing structure, possibly timber-framed, as the space between the arch and No. 21 suggests there may have been pedestrian access through a postern gate. A plaque on the rear of the arch indicates that it was restored by the Borough Council in 1986.
