Chinese Gateway, Steps and Railings to Anchor, Including Associated Wall with Enclosure to N

The Chinese Gateway is a single-storey pavilion designed in a Chinese style, accompanied by walls, railings, and steps. Constructed from rendered brick or block-work, the pavilion features an ornate metal roof supported by four stone corner balls. It has an off-centre arch on the right side with a pierced square light to the left, a similar light at the narrow southern end, and a trompe l'oeil equivalent on the northern side. Inside the pavilion, a flight of steps descends towards Anchor and Fountain, passing through a similar arch on its eastern side. Two bridges with decorative balustrades provide high-level access to two houses, while below, immediately southwest of Anchor, there is a narrow terrace with a decorative iron balustrade between square rendered piers.

To the south and north of the Chinese Gateway, there is a rubble parapetted revettment wall that follows the road down to the Hotel and up towards the Town Hall. This wall ends to the south at a flight of steps leading down to the Sea-front Terrace. To the north, the wall continues to a point diagonally opposite the Town Hall, where it concludes in a small U-shaped enclosure that is open to the roadside. This enclosure features a section of turned balustrading on the eastern side, with short advanced stretches on the left and right. The right stretch, which is to the south, is topped with a shaped gable that has an open arch in the center and an urn finial above it, along with a cobbled pavement.
