This genuine Wrought Iron Gate is a truly excellent example of how a common utility item is transformed into a work of art using twists, scrolls on a very malleable, grained and durable material. It is well preseved despite its age, guess estimating made 1860's during wrought irons peak and also based on when the road was changed. No corrosion even, though no galvanise or paint unlike the current imitators. Usually made by a local blacksmith, they normally have their unique mark (hence origin of trademark) on the main upright beam but hard to detect here.
Worth noting is the hinged eye for the lock which is unique, no hint of seizure there and also the snake for the main hasp. Note the overgrown stile at the LHS to allow foot traffic which would have minimized opening/closing.
Modern 'Wrought Iron' gates are made from mild steel, have the decorative bits welded in (mild steel not as malleable or durable ) and are usually galvanised and powder coated as they would corrode. If you can add anything to the knowledge on this gate, pls include in log and i will update.
