Description
The gates and gatepiers at the main entrance to Victoria Park were built in 1912. They consist of a pair of ornamental iron gates featuring intricate scrollwork and foliage. Each gate has a central cartouche displaying the borough arms. The gates are flanked by tall square stone ashlar piers topped with moulded concrete caps and ball-finials. On the eastern pier, there is a white marble plaque commemorating the opening of the park on November 9, 1912, and noting that the main gates were presented by George Oliver Peard in memory of his wife.
