Another Grand Gate

This is another section of the fence that runs along Bayview Ave and which surrounds the Glendon College campus of York University. You can see the W in the centre of the gate signifying that this had been the estate belonging to E. R. Wood when the fence was built in the 1920s.

    Well it's in pretty darn good shape for having been built in the 1920s.
