Description

The gateway, screen walls, and railings at the south-west entrance to the Arboretum were built between 1851 and 1852 by Henry Moses Wood, the Corporation Surveyor. This structure is designed in the Tudor Revival style and is made of ashlar, cast iron, and wrought iron. The triple gateway features four panelled octagonal piers topped with ogee domes and finials, along with original wrought-iron gates. On either side of the gateway, there are serpentine screen walls approximately 10 meters long, which include a plinth and moulded coping. The end piers of the screen walls are identical to the gate piers. To the left, a cast-iron spiked railing extends approximately 400 meters along Waverley Street to the north-west entrance. This gateway is part of the original architectural scheme of the Arboretum, which was laid out between 1850 and 1852 by Samuel Curtis of London.
