Between the entrance gates, the boundary wall bows out towards the roadway. Low wall with chamfered ashlar coping and ornamental cast-iron railings. The stanchions have panels of tall vertical bars and heart-shaped art nouveau heads with curved tops, echoing the shape of the capping stones of the gate-piers. Gates in similar style to railings.
