Chester Road Gates, Queen Marys Gardens

The Chester Road Gates at Queen Mary's Gardens are formal entrance gates located at the western end of Chester Road. They were completed in 1933 and were presented to the park in 1932 by Sigismund Goetze. The gates are made of cast iron and feature wrought iron embellishments, some of which are gilded. The design is symmetrical, with a central carriage entrance flanked by openwork box pillars topped with acanthus leaf and scroll finials. These pillars are connected by an acanthus leaf and scroll work overthrow that includes a central radiating sun. On either side of the carriage entrance are smaller pedestrian entrances, also linked by panels of plain cast iron bars, each with plain cast iron gates.
