The Park Gates, Taunton, Somerset, England. (1910s) This photograph transports us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the magnificent Park Gates of Taunton, Somerset, England. The image, taken in the 1910s, depicts the grandeur and elegance of this historic landmark. The Park Gates, also known as the Ornamental Gates, are located at the entrance of Vivary Park in Taunton. The gates were designed by the renowned architect Decimus Burton in 1825 and were commissioned by the 3rd Earl of Bath. The gates are an exquisite example of Regency architecture, with their intricate ironwork and ornate design. The gates were originally used to enclose the Vivary, a man-made lake that was created in the 17th century. The lake was a popular attraction for the residents of Taunton, and the park surrounding it was used for various recreational activities. The photograph captures the gates in all their glory, with the lush greenery of the park in the background. The ironwork on the gates is intricately detailed, with scrollwork, flowers, and leaves adorning the surface. The gates are topped with finials and crests, adding to their regal appearance. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of Taunton and Somerset. The horse-drawn carriage in the foreground adds to the nostalgic feel of the image, reminding us of a time when life moved at a slower pace. The Park Gates of Taunton are not only a testament to the rich history of Somerset but also a symbol of the beauty and elegance of Regency architecture. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, architecture, or the English countryside.
