Description

The entrance piers, gates, and bridge to Mostyn Hall are notable features dating from 1896. The entrance is marked by cruciform piers made of dressed stone, which have large moulded capstones and ball finials set on high tapering plinths. The double cast iron gates are flanked by iron openwork inner piers and screens. These tall round-arched gates feature scrollwork on the lock rail and dog rails, adorned with spear finials, and each gate has a circular motif displaying the letter 'M'. An ornate scrolled overthrow, likely made of wrought iron, rises higher in the center and displays a shield with a lion, complemented by finials and repousse work. The square inner piers also feature scrollwork and domed caps with finials. The gates are accessed via a bridge that spans a lower driveway. This bridge is constructed of rubble stone, with segmental arches made of stone voussoirs on each side, and it has continuous parapets with saddleback coping. The end piers of the bridge are topped with ball finials. The wide flat deck of the bridge is slightly splayed at the west end, where the abutments are heavily retained to the north, and the arch is supported by buttresses.
