SD4761NW MEETING HOUSE LANE 1685-1/6/180 (North side) Gate piers, steps and wall opposite junction with Dallas Road
II
Pair of gate piers, steps and retaining wall to the terraced gardens of Nos 20 & 22 Castle Park (qv). Mid C18, altered c1866. One of 3 flights laid out by Allan Harrison in his extended garden. Sandstone ashlar and coursed and squared rubble. The piers are square in plan with a pilaster on each face and have a pronounced cornice. The eastern pier is topped by an urn on an elaborately moulded base, the urn to the western pier was removed c1990. The gate piers now stand at the top of a flight of plain C19 steps and at the bottom of a flight of 15 mid C18 steps with nosings. The retaining walls are battered and watershot, approx 4m high, and extend approx 20m westwards from the bottom of the steps and 15m eastwards. HISTORY: Meeting House Lane was widened in 1866 to cope with the increased traffic generated by the railway station, and consequently the wall was rebuilt approx 5m north of its original alignment.
