Description
The gates and quadrant walls attached to the King George VI Memorial Garden date from around 1794 and the 19th century. The walls are made of stock brick and stand about 7 feet high on a plinth, featuring buttresses that curve out from the walls of the Gate House and extend away from the gates to the perimeter wall of the park, with both sections measuring approximately 10 to 15 metres long. The wrought iron gates are hung from capped piers, with iron lamps fixed as finials. The design includes a carriage gate, an iron pier, and a pedestrian gate, all adorned with heavily scrolled margins and main panels featuring heart and honeysuckle patterns. These gates originally served as the entrance to East Cliff Lodge.
