Description
The iron railings and gates at Trinity House, located on the north side of Trinity Square, date from the late 18th century. They were repaired and extended eastwards after World War II. The railings feature spearhead and urn finials, which are gilded. There are lamp columns at intervals, designed with delicate laced and gilded work that includes frond motifs. The gates are also part of this decorative ensemble.
