Cast-iron railings to steps and area, generally with spear-and-tassel finials; the following replacements have been made: finials and railings to no 16, finials to nos 34-6, finials and railings to no 42 and possibly also to nos 48 and 60, finials to nos 64-8; despite these alterations, and considering the length of the terrace, this is an unusually long range of cast-iron railings of consistent design.
