History
Mostyn Hall is a large country house, the seat of the Mostyn family and its antecedents since the C15. The house, mainly of the C16 and C17, was extensively remodelled by Ambrose Poynter, architect, in 1846-7, subsequent to which a series of lodges and gates were added at the various entrances to the park. The gateway beside Seaview Lodge was built in the late C19 and first shown on the 1912 Ordnance Survey. It stands at the N entrance to Mostyn Park, created to provide an entrance from the railway station at Mostyn Quay.
Exterior
A symmetrical composition of double gates flanked by single pedestrian gates, and then railings with terminal piers. The main gates have pecked stone piers with a frieze of blind keyed oculi below the stepped caps with ball-and-steeple finials. The cast iron gates incorporate arched panels and disc friezes, and decorative and waisted finials. The pedestrian gates are similar and have lower and simpler outer piers than the main gates. The railings stand on a dwarf wall and terminate with piers similar to the outer pedestrian gate piers.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-detailed late C19 gateway and as one of a fine series of C19 lodges and gates forming the architectural setting of Mostyn Park.
