These piers connect to the brick wall with supporting stone side scrolls and moulded caps, which include an egg and tongue bed mould and large carved stone cone finials. The gate stops are designed with inverted scroll heads. The iron gates consist of square bars and feature scrolls across the rails and side panels. Additionally, there is a rectangular front scroll overthrow with scroll cresting and a central lamp.
