GV II

Balustrades around the formal garden in the centre of Dalton Square. c1905. Probably by Edward Mountford. Sandstone ashlar. 4 quadrants forming in total a broken elliptical enclosure within the rectangle of 4 streets, mostly level but stepping down where appropriate to fit the northwards fall of the site, while the garden remains level. Each quadrant consists of a cyma recta plinth, above which are 4 runs of vase balusters between rectangular panelled piers. At each end the pier is taller and carries a square wrought-iron torchere supporting a lantern with an egg-shaped globe. The torcheres are absent in early photographs of Dalton Square.
