Tezden Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Hi … does anybody have any idea why this archway is built into the stone wall, on Pitsmoor Road ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedW Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It used to be the entrance to Ivy Lodge on the corner. Presumably the levels have been raised since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmam Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I would have thought a horse trough may have been there at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean the road would have been much lower so don't think that was the case. I pass this spot every day and never noticed the archway. Access to Ivy Lodge was from Rutland Rd.
