Description
An unusually good group of cast iron railings all in the same area of this small town. Many such railings in the urban and suburban Scottish landscape were removed 'for the War Effort' in the 1940s, along with all those saucepans that were allegedly needed to make Spitfires. The collecting teams must have missed this little area leaving it with something of its original Edwardian appearance. Also noteworthy is the Inverbervie Church gate overthrow see the external links.
The second to last photograph also shows a very fine pillar top lantern, presumably originally gas-lit.
