Description
The gates and railings to Prospect House, associated with Lloyds Bank, are constructed with gatepiers and low walls made of squared rubble stone. The piers feature flat caps that bear a commemorative inscription and rounded top stones, while the walls are topped with chamfered ashlar coping and low cast-iron railings. The railings are adorned with cast-iron finials that match those on the broad double gates, which also have finials positioned above the top rail and mid rail, located over the dog bars. The top rails of the gates are ramped down from the hanging stile, and the right wall curves back. The inscription on the caps reads on the left pier: "In memory of David Jones of Blaenos Born 1758 Founded the Bank 1799," and on the right: "He was High Sheriff of Carmarthen 182? and died 1839."
