Cadw's description
Location
Forms the boundary between the garden of No 4 (The Gables) and the street.
History
Low brick and terracotta wall, with pairs of gate-piers to either end, built 1893, and probably also designed by the architect of the house, Henry Beswick of Chester.
Exterior
The wall is pierced by cruciform panels, and has a central foiled terracotta panel with shield. It is surmounted by a moulded parapet. Gate piers (the gateway now blocked to right-hand pair) are square in plan, and terminate in swept pyramidal copings with ball finials above shallow painted panelled frieze.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with No 4 Bath Street.
