Description

The entrance gateway to Franks Hall, built in the later 19th century, is possibly designed by E W Roumieu. It features four arches that create a central carriageway along with two pedestrian entrances. The structure is made of red brick with stone dressings, and it includes stone cornices and ball finials. The modern wrought iron gates are not considered of special interest.
