Gates And Gate Piers, Wellington Square, Ayr

The gates and gate piers at Wellington Square in Ayr date from the late 19th century. They feature polygonal painted iron gate piers, with only a single pier remaining to the north and south. The gates are two-leaf, but only one leaf remains on the north and south elevations. Designed by Gordon and Winter of Ayr, the gate piers have a polygonal plan with a panelled body, a wreath frieze, and circular finials on coned caps. The central gate band has X-bracing, and the upper section includes finials with Y-tracery. The site is surrounded by low coped boundary walls, which were previously topped with railings. There is also a plaque on a piend-roofed box adjacent to the south entrance that reads "Ayrshire Electricity Board."
