Cadw's description
Location
On the N side of Main Street facing its E junction with East Back.
History
Gothic cast-iron gates and gatepiers of earlier to mid C19 date, made by the Coalbrookdale iron foundry, at Ironbridge.
Exterior
Two gatepiers and double gates, cast-iron. The piers are hollow quatrefoil section with moulded caps and remnants of a pierced Gothic valance or border. The E pier has original finial of fiery urn type. The double gates have two rows of close-set cusped pointed openings with band of quatrefoils between and leaf-pattern cresting. Marked Coalbrookdale on lock.
Reason for designation
Included, although damaged, for their special interest as an unusual large set of Gothic Revival gatepiers and gate in cast-iron.
