Name of Property
Forecourt wall and gate piers on S side of the Bulkeley Hotel
Unitary Authority
Isle of Anglesey
Location
On the S side of the hotel.
History
Probably contemporary with the hotel, begun in 1829, and shown on the 1861 town plan.
Exterior
A forecourt wall on a plinth of 2 or 3 courses of rock-faced stone, comprising 3 courses of freestone and moulded coping. Simple gate piers to the R of centre are square, of which the L-hand has been re-tooled and has a shallow panel. To its L the wall continues and curves round at the corner of Wall Street, where it continues and abuts the extension of the S range. A short section to the R side of the gate piers is similar to the remainder, but then continues in rubble stone.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a well-preserved early C19 forecourt wall of definite quality, and for its contribution to the setting of the hotel and the historical integrity of Beaumaris sea front.
