Description

The wall fronting the garden to the east of No. 1 King's Gardens in Hove was built around 1890 and has been partially restored and renewed in the late 20th century. It features red brick piers with yellow moulded brick balustrading, which has been replaced with a solid wall that includes rustication. The piers are now rendered, except for those in front of No. 1. The wall runs along the length of the properties from Nos. 1 to 4 King's Gardens, with the piers marking access to the buildings, although there are no gates. The wall has been renewed and continues along the west side of Grand Avenue, surrounding what was once a garden for No. 1, which is now a car park. The square piers have moulded caps that originally supported swan neck ball finials, which are missing from No. 1. The wall also features moulded plinths and coping for the balustrade, arched openings with keystones, and lozenge panels that serve as capitals, along with rusticated piers and a dado of square panels with diamond relief.
