Pleasure Garden Walls

The Pleasure Garden Walls are constructed of random rubble and enclose a roughly square area. The northwest section features the gable end of Mews Cottage, which is flush with the wall. This section includes a 19th-century six-pane cambered-headed window with brick voussoirs and a blocked primary opening to the left. Above, there is a large tripartite 20th-century window at the gable apex, flanked by blocked vents. To the left of the cottage gable, there is a boarded garden entrance. The section to the right of the cottage is approximately 3 meters high and has slate coping, with remnants of lime render visible on the interior. The northeast side continues at the same height but has been extensively rebuilt, featuring a central entrance with a boarded door. The southeast return is about 2 meters high, with the garden sloping upwards on this side. There is a gate at the eastern corner of the southern stretch, where some undressed slatestone coping remains. To the right of this, on a slightly raised plinth, is a slated canopy over a fixed bench, supported by flanking rubble buttresses, dating from the early 20th century. Adjacent to the northwest garden wall on the service court side are two plain, low service buildings made of rubble and slate, which date from the 19th century.
