Description

The gatepiers located between the office block and the old bottling stores were built around 1880 or shortly thereafter. They are constructed from ashlar and brown and red brick, featuring unusual stone caps. The gatepiers are complemented by wooden gates and a central iron lamp mounted on a lamp post made up of four clustered shafts. These gatepiers are part of a group of listed buildings associated with Messrs Eldridge Pope's Brewery.
