Description

The structure recorded is a brick-built boundary wall with brick buttressing. The boundary wall accords with a structure shown on historic mapping and is likely to represent part of the former boundary wall of the North Riding of Yorkshire Lunatic Asylum and probably dates to the late 19th century. The wall extends for approximately 85m and encompasses part of a former structure/gateway at its north-eastern limit (also depicted on the historic mapping). The wall continues behind the residential properties located on Eades Close.
