What is recorded here

Quadrant entrance gateway, erected c.1950, comprising vehicular entrance flanked by pedestrian entrances, having double and single-leaf decorative cast-iron gates, with wrought-iron arch over vehicular entrance with lettering 'St Mary's Dominican Convent Cabra' and surmounted by crest and cross flanked by decorative wrought-metal work. Rendered piers with plinths, raised panels and moulded caps, with fluted frieze to middle piers, flanked in turn by curved rendered plinth walling with cast-iron railings terminated by outer piers of similar form to outer pedestrian piers.
This formal entrance to the Dominican Convent complex is visually arresting, with the decorative metal arch proclaiming the convent. The rendered piers are simple but visually effective and the gates are good examples of decorative metalwork.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
