freestone dressings. Screen wall of seven bays, the central one taller and with large 4-centred
carriage arch, the fourth bay has similar but smaller pedestrian gateway, both double-chamfered
and with cast-iron Gothic gates. Castellated Gothick style with battlements to end piers and the
taller central bay; buttresses between bays supporting block finials with quatrefoils, and
cruciform false loops on the carriage arch piers. Large buttresses to these piers on the inner sides
