Back in the day these were outside every house and building, on every street ...
Close-up of an old wooden telephone pole ('utility pole' in american). These are just about extinct now (at least in my town). Firstly, a lot of people use cell phones now, and don't have landlines. Secondly, all the power lines now run underground. And thirdly, any poles still being used are now concrete.
Note: not actually sure if I'll add this to the MM group as the poles are not totally extinct. I'm waiting for some clarification from the admins ...Right, decided not to put in MM - had a mad panic getting another shot taken and loaded in the last few mins before the group closed - WHEW!!!
