GV II

Railings and gate piers. c1830-34. Cast-iron with wrought-iron dog-rails and one pair of ashlar piers. Arrowhead railings with twirled dog-rails. Panelled and enriched iron piers at interval, the panels with double-headed anthemion, and one octagonal ashlar pier at centre with shaped capping. At south end are double gates with panelled gate piers; further similar pedestrian entrance. Further range of arrowhead railings at angle to south. Railings describe an arc with further range adjoining. HISTORICAL NOTE: apparently originally marking an area which, on Merrett's 1834 map, was a Botanic Garden for Richard Ware. Probably originally enclosed the whole area. Chatwin describes these as: 'the most beautiful wrought railings and panels in the town'. Forms a significant streetscape feature. Clive Lodge not included. (Blake S: Pittville: 1824-1860: Cheltenham: 1988-: 13).
