Victoria Gardens Kiosk

The Victoria Gardens Kiosk is a structure built around 1876, associated with the Victoria Gardens that were developed alongside the Granville Hotel and Marina by developer Edmund Davis and architect J T Wimperis.

The kiosk features a rendered brick plinth, knapped flint, and timber posts and brackets that support a clay tile roof. It has an octagonal shape with four hatches located on the north, south, east, and west sides.

Architecturally, the kiosk is designed in a picturesque Gothic style, with moulded timber posts framing sections of roughly coursed and knapped flints on each of the four faces between the hatches, which have metal shutters. The design includes applied timber cross braces and shaped panels on alternating faces that mimic Gothic tracery. Each timber post is complemented by a carved bracket that supports the overhanging octagonal-pitched roof, which is visually enhanced by alternating bands of plain and bullnose tiles.
