Boundary Wall Railings And Former Public Toilets, Marine Terrace Communal Gardens, Ferryhill, Aberdeen

The boundary wall, railings, and former public toilets located in the Marine Terrace Communal Gardens in Ferryhill, Aberdeen, were likely designed by Archibald Simpson in 1838. The structure features a curved enclosure opposite Marine Terrace, constructed from rough-faced granite with an ashlar coping. The wall is topped with cast-iron railings that have arrow-head caps on the west and south sides. To the southeast, there is a square-plan pier with a pyramidal cap. The northern and eastern sections consist of granite rubble walls with granite coping, which incorporate a rectangular-plan stugged granite former public lavatory. This lavatory has a bipartite window in the center, a panelled timber door on the left return, and a piended slate roof adorned with decorative ironwork finials. Additionally, cast-iron rainwater goods are present at the overhanging eaves.
