Forecourt Railings And Gates To Red Barracks, And Gate Lodge

The forecourt railings and gates to the Red Barracks, along with the gate lodge, date from the 19th century. The high railings are made of cast iron and feature spiked cross bands at the center and base, with a plain cross band at the top. Column standards with ball finials are positioned at intervals. The railings are supported by rusticated grey brick piers that have a stone entablature and blocking course.

Additionally, there is a round-headed niche with a stone cill.
