CARLISLE
NY3856 INFIRMARY STREET 671-1/5/183 (West side) Entrance gate piers and wall to east of Cumberland Infirmary
GV II
Gate piers and wall. Probably early 1930s. Brick wall partly on chamfered plinth (all dressings of calciferous sandstone) with stone cornice and coping; tall squared piers with stepped caps and urn finials; patterned cast- and wrought-iron work between piers originally supported gate (now missing). Wall right of the gate is higher and links with main hospital building, with an additional pedestrian gate; the left wall starts at same height but is stepped down to a lower level. Previously there was an entrance with a long drive from Newtown Road: this new entrance would seem to be part of the 1930s work when an extra storey was added to the main building. Continuation of the plain brick wall down Infirmary Street is not of interest. Wall is included for group value only.
