The above entry originally confused the two separate arches. The Wellington Arch is to the north of the Brandon Terrace crossing and is listed as of 1846 by John Brown; the revised listing for Wellington Arch records it as restored in 1980; although the above entry suggests this date may be wrong. The Camperdown Arch, also known as Wellington Mews Arch (NHER 65461), is to the south of the crossroads and is of 1847. Its description is similar to the other but simpler.
