The Grade II-listed Victorian railings, extending 450m along the perimeter of Chelsea Barracks, are of special architectural and historical significance to English Heritage. Built as part of the original infantry barracks, the mighty cast iron railings form an intrinsic part of the George Morgan design of 1860 - 1863. Together with the Garrison Chapel, the railings are all that remain of the original Victorian barracks buildings, and their preservation and restoration has been a journey all of its own.
