there's so many threads I'm still catching up on, just found a couple on things I've been collecting pics of.
couldn't find one for gates...so to start things off...

Victoria St



Temple Court


Stanley Rd, Bootle (next to Kings Park)


County Sessions House-William Brown St


Princess Park

Now this is a rather strange photo - it seems to show Princes* Park Gates during the gilding of the 'Sunburst' effect, with only the right-hand one having been completed. Can this pic be dated and what is the source, please?

(* It's Princes with one 's', by the way - after Prince Albert, the Prince Regent)

Walk through Dino's Gates

The iron Renwick gates fashioned as an ogee arch,
finally set up, a century late, gateposts sculpted

in warm red-sandstone by Constantine Seferlis,
truthfully not wild like the leering ogres conjured

up by this cheeky animalier: bulldog, poodle,
a cat w/ bird in teeth, praying mantis, praying pig.

Come walk through Dino's gates this fine spring
morning; feel free to ogle the rampant pink magnolia,

startle-Tweety-bird yellow witch hazel, and, lookee!
hid by a dusky wall, a lavender Korean rhododendron.

Now that these historic gates have finally been gilded, they have a more dramatic appearance. Although now splendidly refurbished, the authentic Invisible Green colour had been criticised by some as being rather dull and lacking in impact.

These are the gates to Walton Park Cemetery, now also the entrance to Rice Lane Farm.
They are inspired by Jean Millet's "Angelus (see painting)
