Description

The forecourt walls and railings on the west side of Tal-y-coed Court are enclosed by gates, walls, and railings on three sides. The southern side features a low brick wall topped with stone coping and plain railings supported by iron stanchions. At the southwest corner, there is a square brick pier with an ashlar cap, which is slightly recessed and rises to about 2 meters high, topped with flat moulded coping stone. The western side has a similar wall and railings that flank the central entrance gates. These entrance gates are accompanied by larger piers with ball finials, which rise from two recessed tiers of stone blocks. The ornamental wrought iron gates include dog-rails and scrolled ironwork that ramps up to the center. At the southwest corner, there is another similar pier, while the northern side features walls and railings that flank the stable entrance carriageway. The entrance to the stable has smaller gate piers, as previously described, with moulded coping that includes one recessed tier of stone (but no ball finial), and this opening does not have gates.
