II
Two pairs of gatepiers, entrance to Royal Victoria Park at junction of Park Lane with Weston Road. c1880. Probably designed by the City Surveyor, Charles Davis following the Bath Corporation's purchase of the Commons from the City Freemen in 1879.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar.
Each pier, almost one metre square in plan and approx 3m high, flanking pedestrian entrances to each side of carriage entrance, has low moulded plinth, chamfered banded rustication to shafts, wide dentil cornice and block cap. Inner facets have plain ashlar uprights with key pattern tops below cornices, formerly for gate fixings.
Surveyor's plan of 1879 as approved by Council shows that the triangle of land in the north-west corner was a part of the Common and had no road or entrance at that time.
