Description

An asymmetrical composition of double gates with single gate on its R side, framed by 3 square limestone ashlar piers. The piers have wreaths in relief below stepped caps and are surmounted by electric lights. The front face of each pier has a cast iron plaque with a roll of honour in raised letters, while above these are added brass plaques commemorating the dead of the 1939-45 war. The cast iron gates have fretwork decoration. The double gates have panelled wreaths inscribed 'In Glorious Memory of those who fell in the Great War 1914-18', and the single gate has an added elliptical plaque commemorating Glyndwr Michael (1909-43). On the L side is a dwarf ashlar wall with coping and railings that abuts a garden wall (of Bedwellty Nursing Home) to the L.
