Description

The perimeter wall to the gardens at the ends and rear of numbers 1-6 on Castle Street in Bakewell dates from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with sandstone dressings. The wall is approximately 1.75 meters high and runs along Castle Street, returning to enclose the gardens of these properties. The section at the rear lines the bank of the River Wye. The walls facing Castle Street feature triangular copings, and the wall steps up near each end of the terrace to accommodate doorways with moulded Tudor-arched surrounds. The rear section of the wall increases in height towards the south and includes several triangular-headed gateways, one of which has been widened. This wall is a significant feature in the townscape as one approaches Bakewell via Bakewell Bridge.
