Description
The Whitehall Bowling Green walls, railings, and gates along the south side of Hamilton Place in Aberdeen were constructed between 1885 and 1886, likely designed by the architects Pirie and Clyne. The structure features a single course of rough-faced pink granite wall, accented with contrasting grey granite Aberdeen bond snecking and coping, sitting atop a rubble retaining wall that has a cement render.
The walls are topped with cast iron railings that have distinctive flower-like paterae finials. A central two-leaf gate, designed similarly to the railings, provides access to a small flight of granite steps. At each outer end of the walls, there are granite piers consisting of a grey granite shaft rising from a plinth, with a rough-faced pink granite neck topped by a scrolled capstone.
It is noted that the boundary walls returning to the southeast and southwest are excluded from the listing under Section 1 (4A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.
