Description
The gate piers at the Children's Playground on Newby Place date from the first half of the 19th century. They are made of rusticated stone and feature panelled curved caps that are identical to those found on All Saints' Church with St Frideswide, which is located opposite. These gate piers, along with the All Saints Rectory, form a group with several nearby buildings, including Nos 5 to 11 (consecutive) Mountague Place, Nos 1-3 and 24 Bazely Street, Nos 45 to 51 (odd), the Greenwich Pensioner Public House on Bazely Street, and All Saints with St Frideswide Church, as well as the churchyard wall and gate piers on East India Dock Road.
