Entrance portal and lodges. Mid C19. Ashlar with cast-iron
gates. Double gates are flanked by smaller pedestrian gates
and small single-storey lodges. Classical style. Large
central semi-circular archway with scrolled keystone,

columns supporting a dentilled and modillioned entablature.
The pedestrian archways also have keystones. The lodges have
canted sides and full-height flat pilasters. Sash windows
have cornice hoods on consoles. Panelled doorways at the
rear are flanked by elaborate cast-iron lamp standards which
are also found on the quadrant walls which sweep out at

heavily enriched with vine and grape decoration. The
structure was re-erected from the entrance to Trafford Hall.
