The gates were made in cast iron by the Coalbrookdale Company at Ironbridge in the early 1860's. They were offered as a gift to Warrington Borough Council by Frederick Monks, a member of the council, in 1893. They were formally opened on 28 June 1895. On each side of the gates is an ornate screen which contains four columns, on top of which is a statue of Nike, the goddess of victory. In the centre of the archway over the gate are the arms of Warrington Borough Council.
