"Wall and railings. 1870, cast by Lees & Graham of Carlisle (impressed founders name). Red sandstone; cast-iron railings. Encloses a garden square surrounded by houses. Low wall with chamfer, surmounted by patterned cast-iron speared railings, broken in centre of each side by gate openings (without gates); integral cast-iron gate piers of octagonal shaft with ball-and-spear finials. Gate opening on west side enlarged. This was laid out as a square without buildings on Asquiths Survey of Carlisle, 1853: when buildings were added this was made into a private residents garden; see Carlisle Journal (1870) which records the planting let to Little &Ballantyne and the inauguration by the Mayor by planting a tree in each corner. (Carlisle Journal: 11 March 1870)."
