Description

The walls of the former kitchen garden at Pool Park enclose a horse-shoe-shaped produce garden, situated on a sloping site that opens at the lower end. These extensive walls are made of red brick in rat-trap bond, which is unusual for the area, and they reach a maximum height of 4 meters, topped with a coping course of brown brick. There are two deeply-recessed round-arched entrances, one placed off-centre in the curved upper section on the northwest side and another further down on the northeast side, both retaining their original 6-panel pine doors. The entrance sections are advanced and laid in normal courses, featuring limestone ashlar imposts and square brick finials above.

Lower down on both long sides, there are opposing entrances that were originally flanked by coped brick piers, though these have been lost or replaced with 20th-century brick. The southwest side curves around to return westwards just below its central point, where there is another round-arched entrance. The main wall continues and steps down to about 1.2 meters in height, with the western of the two opposing entrances leading into a smaller rectangular enclosure with walls approximately 1.8 meters high. This enclosure once housed glasshouses, and a modern one remains.

At the southernmost corner, adjoining the main wall at right angles, is a former gardeners' bothy. This single-storey building is constructed of roughcast brick with a hipped slated roof. A central brick chimney divides the structure into two mirrored units, each with outer entrances featuring boarded doors and 6-pane early 20th-century windows, including an additional similar window on the left gable end overlooking the kitchen garden. The left unit has a basement with stepped access and a boarded door. To the right, continuously-roofed with the main block, is a 3-bay potting shed that is open to the front and supported by plain posts, although it is currently in a ruinous state. The interior of the bothy was not inspected during the survey.
