Massive pillars of Connemara limestone, with carved bases of Portland stone, form the support to the arches. In the spaces between the arches there are circular paenels inlaid with marble, and the whole structure is covered with a carved stone cornice.  In this there is an elaborately worked continuous wreath, which combines the vine, the hop-plant, the myrtle, the ivy, the pine-apple and other fruits.'.   Builder: George Moyers.
