Description
The raised pavement and railings in front of numbers 1-11 (odd) on Angel Hill in Tiverton are likely of at least 17th century origin, but they are probably in their current form from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The pavement features a stone rubble base with a concrete surface extending as far north as number 9, while in front of number 11, it has a blue brick top and tarmac beyond, both sections bordered by a kerb of flagstones.
There are six openings along the pavement, each with different styles and dates. At the southern end, in front of numbers 3 and 5, there are two round-headed arches with keystones; the jambs and main parts of these arches are made of red brick. The right-hand arch contains a dried-up well head with a semicircular brick back, and its keystone has a worn inscription warning against polluting the well, which is partly obscured by an iron pipe. The left-hand arch appears to be a cellar entrance with 20th-century doors.
The third opening from the right is a recess with late 19th century or early 20th century red brick jambs and a segmental arch, believed to have been used for storing sand to prevent horses from slipping on icy surfaces. The fourth opening is plain and has 20th-century doors, likely leading to the cellars of number 7. The fifth opening, probably from the early or mid 19th century, provides access to the cellars of number 9, featuring red brick jambs, with the right jamb rebuilt in the late 20th century, and a segmental arch made of headers. The sixth opening is a covered driveway leading to the yard behind Slee's Almhouses, with red brick jambs—one rebuilt in the late 20th century—and double plank doors with heavy L-shaped iron hinges.
Along the entire pavement, there is a 19th-century iron railing composed of circular moulded uprights that support two rows of horizontal bars.
