Description
The stone wall with a section of railings and gatepiers runs east from the south side of Westbury House on St Margaret's Street. This 18th-century stone wall forms the southern boundary of a large grass forecourt that leads down to the River Avon. At the western end, adjacent to the house, there is a small section of surviving iron railings atop the wall. A gateway in the wall features rusticated piers topped with ball finials set in acanthus leaf cuppings, and there is an arched wrought-iron lamp bracket above the entrance. This structure is part of a group that includes The Three Horseshoes, Nos 1 to 4 Frome Road, the Liberal Club, The Baptist Chapel, the Congregational Church and Hall, and several other properties along St Margaret's Street and St Margaret's Hill.
