East Perimeter Wall, Railings And Gateway To Taw Vale Terrace

The East Perimeter Wall, railings, and gateway to Taw Vale Terrace in Crediton date from the 1830s. These perimeter walls enclose the front gardens of Taw Vale Terrace and are constructed of snecked local volcanic trap with cast iron railings. The walls run from the Railway Inn, likely part of the same development as Taw Vale, along Station Road and down the boundary of No 1 on Exeter Road. They are low, coped walls topped with cast iron railings featuring spearhead finials. The entrance to the shared carriageway for Taw Vale Terrace has been widened. One hammer-dressed stone gate pier remains in place with a moulded pyramidal cap, while the other pier has been re-set on the wall. This structure is included for its group value.
