Description
The gate piers at the entrance to Dent's Terrace were built in 1865 by architects Sir George Gilbert Scott and J. Drayton Wyatt. Constructed from ashlar limestone, each pier measures approximately 600 mm square and features moulded bases, offset buttresses on the outer face, and chamfered corners with stops that resemble those found on the windows of Dent's Almshouses. The tops of the piers are cross-gabled and adorned with crocketted roll-mould weathered gablets that have three-foil cusping. Although the gates and railings are no longer present, these piers are still an important part of the overall design of the Almshouses.
