Railings, piers and gates. c1840. Made by John Walker of Walmgate for John Clough. Sandstone ashlar and brick with wrought and cast-iron. Bordering Bootham there are 9 piers of rectangular plan linked by low stone copings with railings, except between the 1st and 2nd piers from the left and between the 3rd and 4th piers, where there are iron gates.

The piers have semi-cylindrical caps, their semicircular front elevations carved with honeysuckle decoration. The faces of the piers have incised Greek fret ornament. Bordering Grosvenor Terrace there are no intermediate piers and the railings are set on a brick wall with stone coping. Included for group value as an integral part of No.65 Bootham, The Churchill (qv).
