Wall and Railings to former Sessions House and Canterbury Prison

The wall and railings to the former Sessions House and Canterbury Prison date back to the time when these buildings were in use. The wall runs from the western boundary of the former Sessions House to the former Governor's House of Canterbury Prison at 45 Langport.

The structure features a low brick wall that stands about three feet high, topped with stone coping. This wall is punctuated by tall cast iron spear railings. The railings are supported by columns that are moulded to resemble fasces at regular intervals, with additional support provided by curved iron supports on brick and stone piers located at the back. There are four carriage openings in the wall: two in front of the former Sessions House, one directly opposite the entrance to Canterbury Prison, and one near the former Governor's House at 45 Langport.
