Description



LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH

SS7149 ALFORD TERRACE, Lynton
858-1/4/4 (South side)
Retaining wall, gate and steps to
Alford House Hotel

GV II

Retaining wall with arched gateway, gate, and steps. c1845.
Rubble, slate steps, wrought-iron gate. The wall, rising to
approx 3.5m height at the left, with horizontal top, but the
access path sloping up to the right, retains the terrace
garden to Alford House Hotel (qv). At the left-hand end, set
in to deep reveals, is a 4-panel part-glazed door under a
3-pane transom light, set on 3 steps; this gives to a
passageway (blocked at time of survey) to the basement of the
property. To the right is a rough arched opening with
wrought-iron gate with thin bars and dog-bars, to fleur-de-lys
or flattened spearheads, opening to a landing on one step,
with retaining wall to the right, and with a flight of 10
slate steps rising to the left, behind the retaining wall, and
to a further retainer to its right. Included for group value.
