Golden Gates, Grade I listed gate at Eaton Hall, England
The Golden Gates feature intricate metalwork with central paired gates and screen railings, complemented by two single-story lodges at each end of the structure.
The gates originated in the early 18th century through the craftsmanship of Robert and John Davies, while Alfred Waterhouse added the side gates and screens in 1880.
The gates represent the architectural excellence of Victorian England, combining French Renaissance elements with traditional British gate-making techniques.
The gates maintain their position at the eastern end of Belgrave Avenue, marking the entrance to Eaton Hall's forecourt with coordinates 53.1404, -2.8791.
The structure includes two sentry-box style porches with steeply hipped roofs and a corbelled balustrade, designed by Alfred Waterhouse in French Renaissance style.
