Description
Fair green, c.1800, on a corner site with random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter of site having rubble stone vertical coping, granite ashlar monolithic piers, and wrought iron double gates.
Appraisal
An important site in a prominent position representing, historically, the commercial centre of Goresbridge supporting much of the agricultural hinterland. Following the discontinuation of the fair day the grounds continue to serve a civic use as a park, thereby remaining a vital green space in the heart of the town or village.
