Title
Terrace Gardens boundary wall in Petersham Road
Description
General view of the west-facing boundary wall and gate at Terrace Gardens Petersham Road, Richmond upon Thames. The formal gardens were formed from three separate eighteenth-century estates and were opened as public gardens in May 1887. The image shows a pair of wrought-iron gates hung from a pair of late eighteenth-century brick gate piers with ball finials. A low-level brick wall with iron railings above, continues south along Petersham Road. To the extreme left of the image is the tiled roof of the park keeper's hut. There is a pedestrian and a street light in view. The gardens were purposely designed in the late-eighteenth century to be secluded but also to command superior views of the River Thames below. The famous view from these gardens has been painted by many artists, including Joshua Reynolds and J.M.W. Turner. The Terrace Gardens are Grade II listed, listing number 1001551 and lie within the Richmond Hill Conservation Area.
