GV II
Boundary wall with railings and gate piers. 1863-8, altered
late C19. By Sir George Gilbert Scott. Brick, English bond,
ashlar and brick piers, stone copings and details,
wrought-iron railings.
Overall length approx 100m, height of railings approx 1-1.5m
and gate piers 2m. The length fronting the original Infirmary
is angled to turn corner into Thoresby Place, left and has
inner and outer piers with crocket-style finials with railings
fronting left return of Infirmary; at the right (east) end the
walling is interrupted by the wide carriage entrance flanked
by narrower pedestrian gateways, gates missing. Roll moulding
to wall coping, railings with zigzag interlaced iron straps,
C-scroll plaques and flower-bud finials; brick piers with
corniced capstones and trefoil plaques to finials.
Main gate piers are square in section, have attached corner
shafts with foliate capitals, gabled capstones, the inner pair
elaborated with carved foliage to entablature and plaque on
gable front.
The 1891 Ordnance Survey map shows the curved carriage drive
with angled gateways at each end; the gateway right was
probably repositioned when the extension was added to the
hospital late C19.
