Roman Doric Doorpiece, 57, High Street, Forres

Roman Doric arch with scrolled consoles at sides - integrated into boundary wall of 57 High Street.

(57 High St) Built as National Bank of Scotland. Advertisement for tenders for considerable alterations and additions in 1843. Reused doorpiece at rear probably from earlier building on site. (Historic Scotland)

16 August 2012: Inspection finds the former doorpiece, integrated into the boundary wall of 57 High Street, now separating a private and public car park, in poor condition. Vegetation growths threatened the stability of the structure, especially as its base. Its location leaves it vulnerable to accidental damage from collision.

13 July 2015: Inspection finds the doorway remains in much the same condition as seen previously.
