Description

The terrace wall on the east side of the Memorial Gardens in Nottingham was built around 1927, likely designed by T Wallis Gordon, the City Engineer. It is constructed from rockfaced stone and features a reconstituted stone balustrade and dressings. The wall is approximately 100 meters long and serves as a retaining wall with a balustrade and intermediate piers. The center of the wall projects outward and includes three segment-arched openings that create a garden shelter. At both ends of the wall, there are doors and small windows that provide access to toilets and storerooms.
