Description

Gates and gatepiers located at the west entrance to Stapleford Park were constructed in the late 19th century. They are made of sandstone ashlar and feature wooden gates. The entrance is marked by four chamfered square piers topped with octagonal pepperpot finials. The central gate is designed with traceried wood and iron, accompanied by a pair of matching flanking wicket gates. These gates serve as the main entrance to Stapleford Park.
