The gates were off Chorley New Road at the entrance to the now demolished Bolton Royal Infirmary. The hospital opened in 1914 as the Bolton Dispensary and closed circa 1999. Although the gate piers remain the central and left side gates have been replaced by fixed railings with only a right side gate remaining for emergency access to the housing and grounds behind.
