Camber-headed carriage arch, limestone voussoirs, corrugated-iron gate; square-headed pedestrian gate to north, limestone relieving arch, painted timber architrave on limestone plinth-blocks, painted timber vertically-sheeted gate.

Appraisal
This appealing gateway exhibits high quality stonework in its construction and forms an in interesting piece of street architecture. Though its original association has been lost, it may have been related to the former warehouse to the north. Features such as this contribute to the texture of the town.
