A pair of pedestrian entrances with a central wrought iron pier. Each is a tripartite composition consisting of two rows per side of three square columns, supporting a platform roof with a cornice band. The columns stand on unadorned rectangular plinths. The inner, middle columns are larger than the outer ones, and comprise piers, with slots into which the former cast iron gates slid; central outer piers rise up to meet upper part of canopy. The terminal feature above comprises a semi-circular arch with moulded archivolt, topped with a plain pediment and stepped bands beneath. Located in the middle of the carriageway is a cast iron square pier, with its sides embellished with anthemion decoration; above is a lantern on a seven-legged base, based on antique incense burners, with a lotus leaf capital.
