South Gates, Lord Wandsworth College

South gates to Lord Wandsworth College, built around 1926 to the designs of Guy Dawber.

MATERIALS: red brick with stone dressings and timber and iron gates.

DESCRIPTION: gates designed as part of the secondary phase of the core of the Lord Wandsworth College, forming the principal entrance from the southern playing fields. The gates align with the Engineering Block (now Humanities Block) to the north. There are four brick gate piers, all with stone plinths and caps; the outer pair are smaller with stone orb finials, the central piers have recessed corners and stone acorn finials. Set between the piers are three low-set gates with timber frames and braces gates and iron bars, straps and fixings (which have been restored). The arced central gate forms a carriage entrance and is flanked by two narrow gates.
