Description

The entrance gates at the north-east entrance to Battersea Park were built around 1891 for the London County Council. The outer pedestrian gateways are made of Portland stone and feature an Arts and Crafts style. They have a nowy-headed coping and a floating cornice above a tall keystone that is adorned with a carved Art Nouveau style female head. A moulded stone architrave frames the semi-circular arched doorway. The gates include wrought-iron pedestrian gates and ramped carriage gates, which have scrolled ironwork on the upper panels and spear finials. Flanking wrought-iron screen walls ramp up to the pedestrian gates. These gates are one of four entrances to Battersea Park that were designed in the 1850s by James Pennethorne.
