GREAT YARMOUTH
TG5206 QUEEN'S ROAD 839-1/6/149 (South side) St Nicholas' Hospital, Walls and railings
GV II
Walls and railings. 1811 with mid C20 insertions and repairs. By Edward Holl and William Pilkington, architects at the Navy Board. Brick and cast-iron. The walls run round the west, south and east sides of the site, the east run having been partly rebuilt mid C20. Railings to the north, entrance, side and returning to the west. The walls to south and east have a plinth course and pilasters rising to a saw-toothed cornice, forming regular recessed panels. Brick coping. The east run is plain. The railings are original to the centre section between rendered brick piers: circular-section verticals with billet collars at neck and foot, billets at junction with diamond-section top rail and obelisk finials over a reduced palmette bobbin; circular-section standards with billet collars at neck and foot rising to finials of naval crowns. Closes the road front to the former Naval Hospital (qv). The area inside formerly contained officers' houses for the hospital. (Buildings of England: Pevsner N: North-east Norfolk and Norwich: London: 1973-: 148).
