Cadw's description
Location
Extending from the side of the hotel along Bridge Street, enclosing the hotel garden.
Exterior
Garden wall. High wall of rubble with flat stone coping. There are differences in the masonry and a course of square stones at about two thirds of the height suggesting different periods of construction, repair and possibly raising. A wide painted segmental-headed carriage arch at E to an ancillary building with boarded double doors. The wall terminates in a tall painted stucco doorway with architrave, large keystone and heavy bracketed cornice attached to the hotel.
Reason for designation
Listed as a wall forming an important element in the Bridge Street townscape and as part of the hotel complex. Group value with other listed buldings in Bridge Street and Porthycarne Street.
