Description
The railings, piers, and gates enclosing the forecourt of the Baptist Chapel were built in the late 19th century. They are made of rendered brick and cast iron. The structure features four square rendered piers on plinths topped with plain pyramidal caps, connected by a dwarf wall. The railings have spearhead designs, and there is a central gate with rails and dog-bars, along with a segmental central unit that has scrolled top decoration. While modest in appearance, these features are significant for maintaining the character of the street.
