New Buckingham-Gate, St. James's Park, [London], 1857. View of '...the new Lodge and Buckingham Gate...the Park Lodge, which stood between the terminus of the road that passes in front of the Wellington Barracks and that through the Park has been removed; likewise the single gates, and in place of them handsome double gates, two to each entrance, have been erected; and a new lodge has been built...Our Artist has peopled his Illustration with the life and bustle of the full tide of the season. The style of the gates is good, and the stone piers and cast-iron gates are decidedly an improvement upon the brick piers and lumbering wooden gate of former days. The change has been somewhat costly; for the expense of taking down and rebuilding the lodge at Buckingham Gate, and the new gates and piers and approaches to the park, has been £2450'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
