Description

The gatepiers and gates at York Goods Station were built in 1875 and designed by Benjamin Burleigh, who was the architect for the North Eastern Railway Company. They are made of painted and rendered brick and stone. The main features include two tall octagonal gatepiers that have chamfered bases and moulded pyramidal tops. Each of these piers has a battered and curved curbing stone on the front corner. Although the iron gates have been removed, the piers still retain their hinges. There are also two shorter outer piers that define pedestrian entrances on either side; these are octagonal as well, with chamfered bases and pyramidal caps. The remaining iron gates feature major and minor spears and originally served as the main entrance to the York Goods Station.
