Description
Four square piers mark the Heaton Road entrance to Heaton Park. The two central piers, capped with carved arch stones, are larger and support double wrought iron gates. Curved stone walls connect these piers to the smaller outer piers which are capped by dome shaped stones. The entrance was added to the park in 1909. LOCAL LIST
