Description


SJ 98 SW ADLINGTON C.P. MILL LANE
(South Side)

3/21 "The Pillars" 140m south
east of the Garden
Cottage at Adlington Hall

II

Pair of gate piers: mid C18 for Charles Legh. Ashlar buff sandstone.
Slightly tapering plain square body of each pier stands on a tall
plinth with a moulded top.
The capstones with well carved unicorn's heads now stand on the wall
of stable courtyard (q.v.) where they were moved c1960. The piers
must have been very grand and stood astride the main south approach
leading to the new stable block. A moving of the turnpike road in
1801 left them isolated.
