Robinsons Gateways And Archway House

Robinson's Gateways and Archway House, dating from the early to mid 18th century, features two archways, one of which is now blocked to form a house. The structure is built from ashlar and coursed rubble with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high, with two first-floor windows. The two tall carriage arches are made of rubble voussoirs and have ashlar keystones that rest on chamfered rusticated pilasters with cornices. In the central pilasters, there is a four-panel door, and above it, a six-pane sash window set in an ashlar surround. The right-hand archway is blocked and has a three-light flat-faced mullion window in an ashlar surround on the ground floor, along with a six-pane sash window above. This building was constructed before 1755 and originally had doors in the arches and a postern between them, which provided access to the Wool Room and the stables in Lodge Yard.
