Description

Gateway, extant 1909, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of vermiculated-banded granite ashlar piers supporting replacement steel double gates with vermiculated-banded granite ashlar outer piers supporting spear head-detailed cast-iron railings. Now disused. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Springfield.

Appraisal

A gateway not only making a pleasing, if increasingly forlorn visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Springfield estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
