Description

The railings in front of Smithkline Beecham House were constructed around 1937 for Simmons Aerocessories. They feature a concrete plinth and metal railings with plain bars. The railings are divided into short sections by panels that have curved and scrolled interlaced rods, which undulate across the railings. Above each panel is a winged monogram "SA" with a finalled hood. These railings are included for their group value with the house.
