Two substantial gate piers with a banner strung between them are visible as structures on aerial photographs taken in 1928. Although the image quality means it is difficult to make out details of construction, they are square in section tapering to a pinnacle at the top, with a wider, possibly rectangular base. They are not depicted on any of the available Ordnance Survey mapping and were presumably short-lived, constructed and removed between 1904 and the 1930s. This together with their location on the road rather than on the pavement suggests they may have been temporary structures erected for a particular occasion. They have not been transcribed for this reason.
