THE DRIVE,
Beach terrace with attached gate piers and gates, Silvergates, No. 52
II
Gatepiers and gates with attached beach terrace. Circa 1934. Designed, together with the main house "Silvergates", by Ernest B Glanfield FRIBA of the firm of Riley and Glanfield. To the south of "Silvergates" is a flint wall about three feet high with a central pedestrian garden gate approached up a flight of seven curved brick steps. There are two tall painted brick gatepiers with stepped brick coping flanked by sections of ramped up brickwork. There is an attached cast and wrought iron pedestrian gate with scrolled wrought iron overthrow, three scrollwork panels and dograil. This leads to a raised terrace with east, west and south walls of Bognor rock with brick piers at regular intervals to the south side and a central wooden gate. The terrace has a stone floor with pebble bands at the sides with curved patterns at regular intervals. The post-War concrete balustrading to the south wall is not of special interest.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANCE
A purpose-built beach terrace of c.1934 for entertaining, and garden gate and gatepiers by the same architect as the main house "Silvergates".
