These gates do not look like they have been opened for quite a while. There is a pedestrian gate next to the main access. It seems to be a back entrance to Hardwick Manor, though the road heads off in the wrong direction. The road past the gates is Horsecroft Road. Update: Two weeks after taking this photo I passed again and found the entrance no longer looked abandoned, with new fence panels each side of the gate.
