Description
The memorial gates, gate-piers, and flanking quadrant screens at Pontypool Park serve as a War Memorial to World War I. They feature an ironwork screen with central gates, constructed from limestone ashlar, complemented by cast iron railings and gates, as well as bronze plaques. Both the stonework and bronze elements have been heavily overpainted. Dwarf stone walls support panels of intricate ironwork and are punctuated by piers with corniced caps, with the piers at the main gates being taller. The central pair of elaborate iron gates is designed in the early 18th century style and is likely inspired by the Pontypool Park gates on Rockhill Road. The piers display bronze plaques that list the names of the fallen, and one pier bears the inscription: 'THIS MEMORIAL TO THE MEN & WOMEN OF THE DISTRICTS OF ABERSYCHAN AND PONTYPOOL WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR WAS UNVEILED BY MAJOR GENERAL LORD TREOWEN C.B. C.M.G. LORD LIEUTENANT OF MONMOUTHSHIRE DECEMBER 18th 1924'. Additionally, there is a smaller footgate.
