Description
The gates and gate piers at Busby Glen Park were designed by architects Sydney Mitchell & Wilson, along with blacksmith Thomas Hadden, around 1925. This entrance to the park is framed by square granite piers and features decorative, gently curved quadrant railings along with two-leaf gates. There is also a turning space enclosed by additional railings and three squat stone piers, along with a decorative pedestrian gate leading to the lodge house. The wrought ironwork includes intricate designs depicting wildlife, such as an owl and a lark, as well as botanical elements like cherry, acorn, and ivy, along with foliate and floral decorations.
The main entrance features two-leaf gates that are swept and topped with finials, each gate includes decorative panels and is supported by railed posts capped with fleuron and scrolled brackets. The granite piers on either side are bull-faced with cushion caps and have rectangular panels, with the eastern pier displaying a bronze dedicatory plaque. The flanking railings consist of both straight and quadrant sections, partially obscured by foliage, and include decorative panels and finials at intervals, with ornate scrolls transitioning to the lower railings of the outer sections.
The outer piers are low and squat versions of the main granite piers, also topped with cushion caps. The lodge gate is an iron gate featuring a decorative central panel, flanked by finial-topped railed posts.
