Description

The Kinmel East Gatepiers and Railings feature a gateway with a row of six square stone piers that increase in height towards the center, with the main piers standing approximately 4 meters tall. Each of these piers has two fielded sunk panels at the front and an elaborate top that includes a string course around the piers with sunk faces, a key design frieze above, and a cornice capped with a moulded pyramid form. This design is similar, but not identical, to that of the Golden Lodge gatepiers.

On either side, the mid-piers are styled similarly and stand about 3 meters high, while the outer piers are plain, featuring only a string course, and are around 2 meters tall.

The central gates are made of wrought iron, but they are a poor replacement for the original gates that have been lost. The middle sections of iron railings are also not original, although the railings in the outer bays may be original.
