A pair of green-painted cast lead turnstile Zoo entrance with gate, sign, kiosk and turnstiles, and gold signage detailing, made by Taylor and Barrett.
The display has two each of the green Gate, Kiosk and Turnstile, arranged next to each other as a ticketed entrance, and exit.
Identification
We'd had a couple of customers definitely identify these pieces to us as being by John Hill ("[Johillco]"), but they match the reference photos in Joplin's book for Taylor and Barratt, with the painting corresponding to T&B's reissued post-war version.
- 66 Zoo Gate
