Description
The gates and railings to Sandown Park Racecourse, located on Portsmouth Road in Esher, were constructed around 1860. They feature stone piers with iron railings that extend approximately 400 feet in length and rise to about 15 feet in height. The railings are elaborately designed with scroll and foliage decorations, and there are taller sections of railing with scroll decoration every 15 feet. At each end, square piers stand approximately 20 feet high, adorned with vermiculated block bands and arched niches on the south side. The design includes a projecting crowning cornice with flanking scrolls above a vermiculated and gadrooned base, which once supported a finial that is no longer present.
