Description
Gatepier and wall to north side of Longport and west side of North Holmes Road built circa 1808 as part of George Byfield's design for Canterbury Prison and the adjoining court house. The boundary wall extends from the eastern side of 45 Longport to the junction with North Holmes Road and turns along the west side of North Holmes Road.
MATERIALS : stone gate pier and brick walls in Flemish and English bond.
DESCRIPTION: at the western end is a projecting stone gate pier with a tall recessed panel, a narrower plain panel above and a flat cornice. The attached wall along Longport is about nine feet high in Flemish bond and is of a similar height along North Holmes Road until nearly opposite St. Martin's Church when it rises to about 19 feet and changes to English bond. There is some patching on the northern part.
