Looking between the entrance gateposts out across Palace Green to the cathedral. The gateway is described thus: "2 octagonal piers with frieze and battlemented coping; wrought iron scrolls on top support square gas lamps" http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1322867&searchtype=mapsearch , and probably dates from 1790 when the gatehouse was altered.
