Description

The Jubilee Gates at Queen Mary's Gardens serve as the main formal entrance from York Bridge. They were dated 6th May 1935, marking the day Queen Mary officially re-opened the gardens after their remodelling. These gates were commissioned for the Silver Jubilee of King George V and were presented to the park by Sigismund Goetze. The gates are made of cast and wrought iron, with some gilding, and feature Portland stone pillars. The design is symmetrical with a concave plan. Central barred carriage gates are hung from an open-work frame adorned with acanthus leaves and scrolls, supported by fluted pillars with enriched capitals and finials. The acanthus and scroll work includes the royal cypher of George V. Smaller pedestrian entrances are located on either side of the main gates, flanked by tall stone pillars topped with entablatures and flaming urns. Curved railings connect the gates to similar stone pillars along the road, each topped with torch flambe finials.
