Appraisal
A robustly-detailed gateway forming a picturesque feature in the streetscape of Jenkin's Lane: decorative accents with particular emphasis on the Classically-derived rendered dressings contribute significantly to the artistic design value of the composition while exhibiting high quality craftsmanship.
