Memorial Gates and Gate-piers to north-west entrance to Newport Rugby Club Sports Ground

The neo-classical Portland stone gate piers have stepped bases and dentil cornices. These are topped by curiously designed stepped acroteria with a fluted drum cap. The cap to the right-hand pier had been dislodged and was in need of resetting on inspection in March 2020. The side faces have advanced panels from which the gates are hung and these have Greek fret ornament to the top. The outward faces of the piers have bronze panels commemorating members of the Newport Athletic Club who died in WWI.

The pair of steel gates have simple detail with Greek fret panels to the dog bar, and foliate panels to the four corners of each gate. They display the dates 1914 1918 and the gates are topped by spearhead finials. Modern overhead signage is hung from brackets fixed to the rear faces of the piers.
