Description

Photographer's note: 'The Grade II* Listed Archway was formerly the entrance to the carriage drive of Farmhill Park (built c1784; demolished 1930s). The Anti-Slavery Arch was built in 1834, or shortly afterwards for Henry Wyatt (1793-1847), who bought Farmhill Park in 1833, having been tenant since 1817. Between the arch and cornice on the east side, a rectangular plaque reads: 'Erected to commemorate the abolition / of slavery in the British colonies / The first of August A.D. MDCCCXXXIV.'
