Description

The gate piers and screen plinths at the southwest corner of the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham date from the late 19th century and are constructed from ashlar. They consist of a pair of square gate piers with chamfered corners and decorative pyramidal caps, which were originally topped with cast-iron lamps. Each side features incurving plinths with chamfered copings, leading to similar square piers. Along Forest Road, there are straight plinths approximately 10 meters long, with a chamfered square pier that has a cornice cap to the east. The railings and gates have been removed. This gateway is one of several of a similar design that were erected by Nottingham Corporation at the entrances to the Forest and Waterloo Promenade.
