Description

The gates to Princes Dock, located on Bath Street, were built in 1821 by John Foster, who served as Dock Engineer from 1799 to 1824. The structure features stone piers with pitted rustication, raised panels, and caps. Although the original gates have been removed, 20th-century railings now close the entrance.
