masks. Flanking walls: each has round-arched pedestrian gateway with plain
gate and pilaster buttress surmounted by ball finial. On left the wall is
ramped down and carries a railing with trefoil finials. A gateway gives

against the wall and undergoing complete rebuilding at time of resurvey. A
lodge, similar in design to the Fishing Tabernacles on the Cascade (qv) and
closing the facade at the west end, stood behind the wall to left, and was
demolished c1860 when the restaurant was built. W T C Walker, personal
communication.
