This is basically a complete view of those magnifficent park gates in Warrington I included in my gallery, certainly Buckingham Palace hasen't got gates quite like these, no I don't think these gates the celestial city are quite looking for, because the golden angels are actually four statues of the goddess Athena??? I might be wrong there, look it up on the net, just type in Warrington park gates, and you'll come to it.

Wow that is some awesome entrance.

[JudyB]

That is quite the entrance.  Are the figurines gold?  or perhaps brass? 

[Al Moak]

How'd you like to have those for a bedroom door?

[Summicron]

Figurines are painted in goldleaf, and boy do they glisten in the sun. Afew notes I picked up.


Warrington's splendid town hall, acquired in the 1870's, was originally a private residence.  Built in 1750, by the Scottish architect, James Gibbs, the house has magnificent golden gates.  The parkland surrounding the Town Hall was Warrington's first public park.

I enjoy the history that goes with this kind of picture it gives us some perspective.  This is a beautiful picture....Can you imagine what the heavenly gates will look like?

[Summicron]

Not as good as these

[JudyB]

Right!
