\n The wall, associated with Barry House, is linked to Barry House illustrated on the 1877 Ordnance Survey map.\n<\/p>\n
\n It was constructed by the Barry family.\n<\/p>\n
\n The timeline of its construction, however, is a matter of debate.\n<\/p>\n
\n By the 1935 Ordnance Survey, and with the realignment of St. Nicholas Road, it is possible the wall had been constructed by then and if not, many years before.\n<\/p>\n
\n A trackway from one of two structures north of Barry House indicates the connection with the home.\n<\/p>\n
\n These two semi-detached buildings, seen as workforce housing affiliated with Barry House.\n<\/p>\n
\n The wall is composed of Carboniferous Limestone, likely sourced from the Cold Knap quarries.\n<\/p>\n
\n This implies the wall was assembled at once using material from a single source, predating the previously mentioned mapping evidence.\n<\/p>\n
\n The wall is generally about two metres high along most of its length, with occasional pillars topping it.\n<\/p>\n
\n The top designs of these pillars are similar to those on some of the gate pillars of Romilly Avenue at the Old Village Road junction.\n<\/p>\n
\n Beginning from the Old Village Road back lane, which served as the southern limit of the medieval Barry Green, the wall stretches south along St. Nicholas Road.\n<\/p>\n
\n It passes two gated exits before reaching the old entrance to the now-demolished Barry House, a site now occupied by Rowan Court.\n<\/p>\n
\n The wall lowers on either side of this main entrance, but returns to two metres in height, continuing uninterrupted to the Westend Club.\n<\/p>\n
\n The club was previously featured in a piece in December 2022.\n<\/p>\n
