Pineapple Gatepost Capstones Fosterville Crescent, Abergavenny 6 June 2012

A pair of very fine terracotta pineapple finials on gateposts. Fosterville Avenue contains several, what would have been built as, very opulent Victorian villas.

 

In the Victorian era pineapples and pomegranates symbolised hospitality and welcome, and are often seen as finials on gate posts
