Gateways And Screens At North End Of Wilford Bridge

The gateways and screens at the north end of Wilford Bridge are located at the end of Victoria Embankment and were built between 1920 and 1930, likely designed by T Wallis Gordon, the Corporation Surveyor. They are constructed from ashlar and feature wrought-iron gates and cast-iron railings. The structure includes square piers with plinths, cornices, and shallow pyramidal caps. In the center, there is a pier flanked by pairs of gates leading to the roadway. Beyond this, there are short screen walls with smaller end piers, which have concave coping and cast-iron railings. Footpaths are situated on either side. This design is part of the landscaping scheme for Victoria Embankment, which was largely funded by Sir Jesse Boot.
