The standard British English plural for a fence or barrier made of rails or metal bars — the kind that lines streets, parks, and the fronts of townhouses. In Britain, 'railings' is the normal term where Americans might say 'a railing' or 'a fence.' The word implies fixed, usually decorative ironwork. During WWII, many British iron railings were melted down for the war effort, creating a cultural memory attached to the word.
