Stables, boundary wall and gate
piers to No.46

GV II

Stable, now outbuilding, with boundary wall and gate piers.
Datestone (possibly re-set) of 1835. Coursed squared gritstone
with herringbone tooling, hipped slate roof, monolithic stone
gate piers.
Stables: 2 storeys, 2 bays; facade to road has a cast-iron
coal shute door left, small window above; right return has a
datestone inscribed 'GH/1835' over C20 garage doors, square
window above. Attached walling to west: approx 2m high and 15m
long, round coping, ramped down each side of gate piers which
have shallow pyramidal capstones.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The datestone was possibly removed from the house when later
C19 alterations were made to the garden front; 1835 is the
likely date for the building of house and outbuildings on a
plot purchased when Headingley Moor was parcelled up for
auction in 1831.
