TQ1777 : Wrought-iron gateway arch, the Butts

taken 10 years ago, near to Brentford, Hounslow, England

Wrought-iron gateway arch, the Butts
Wrought-iron gateway arch, the Butts
At the front-garden gate of a Victorian house in the Butts. Structures somewhat like this were not uncommon in Georgian days, but I don't remember ever having seen a Victorian example. The gate-posts themselves appear to be of similar date, though cast iron. I know that a lot of iron railings were sacrificed during World War 2 in the name of the war effort, so I wonder whether this is a rare surviving example of something which was once more common.
