A wonderful sculpture to top one's gateposts. Think they would look a bit pretentious on my modest terrace house in outer suburban London but here they look fantastic
Decoration of the gateposts outside the Natural History Museum - all containing sculptures of animals.
The Natural History Museum forms part of 'Albertopolis' (a complex of buildings including the V&A, Science Museum, Imperial College, Albert Hall and Albert Memorial, to name but a few). The NMH itself grew from a collection belonging to Sir Hans Sloane. The current building came about in the mid-nineteenth century with the purchase of land in South Kensington, and an architectural competition in 1864 (won by Richard Waterhouse); work began in 1873, completed in 1880, and the museum opened in 1881.

This is close to Vauxhall Railway Station and Vauxhall Bridge in Great Yarmouth. Someone added a comment to a previous photo of this of mine saying that this is a railway relic. I'll add a link to the other photo. Does anyone know if it was a railway gatepost please?
Cast iron gatepost, similar to railings that once surrounded the bandstand in the Hollow.

In the main street of Witton Park, County Durham is a memorial garden and corten steel sculpture "The Ball and The Bradford Boy" by artist Ray Lonsdale (b.1965). In a comforting gesture, a civilian figure rests one hand on a soldier's shoulder whilst handing him a football. This simple gesture symbolises the handing back to the soldier the life he enjoyed before he went off to war. The Bradford Brothers of Witton Park - Thomas, George, James and Roland - were amongst the most decorated families of World War One. Two Victoria Crosses, one Distinguished Service Order and two Military Crosses were theirs. Three brothers were also Mentioned in Despatches.
George Bradford was killed on his birthday 23rd April 1918 and James was killed in May 1917, just six months after his marriage. Roland Bradford was killed six months after James. Goege and Roland's Victoria Crosses were awarded posthumously and received by their mother from King George V. Thomas Bradford, the sole survivor, was knighted in 1939 and became High Sheriff of County Durham in 1942. The memorial garden was commissioned to mark the centenary of Roland Bradford's gallantry in the face of the enemy.
In memory of: Col Sir T A Bradford DSO - DLI (1886-1966), Lieut-Commander G N Bradford VC - Royal Navy (1887-1918), Second-Lieutenant J B Bradford MC - DLI (1889-1917), Brigadier-General R B Bradford VC MC - DLI (1892-1917).

It's one of those cold, clear February evenings in Wales and Doris the cat takes up position on her favourite gatepost. A nightly ritual of late, she leaves the house an hour before sunset 'to go to work'. Being a creature of habit she sits and listens for things we humans can only hope to discern, the scurrying of mice for instance or the not too distant wakening of badgers or even the rustling of an insect lost in the undergrowth. I wouldn't call her ears 'big' but they are a great help in this respect.
Cats are said to be partly colour blind in that they can see shades of blue and green, but reds and pinks less so and as a result they miss out on beautiful sunsets such as the one in the background of this picture. Their night vision however is good compared to humans even though they can't see fine detail but they have a superior ability to perceive objects and movement in the dark because of the relatively higher number of rods in their retinas which are more sensitive than cones in dim light.
Eventually, after a week or so she'll get fed up of sitting on that particular gate post and move somewhere else or do something completely unexpected, particularly if other cats are involved.

Arms of Ipswich carved on a gate post of Ipswich Old Cemetery. Although rather weathered and not the highest quality of stone work, the features can still easily be distinguished. Two sea horses act as Supporters. The shield shows three demi-ships and a lion, that somehow seems to have turned itself into a cat and the crest has a demi-lion holding a small ship, believed to be a cog, which would have been the vessel commonly used by merchants of the Hanseatic League, of which Ipswich was a main trading port in the Middle Ages. The cemetery was opened in 1855. A second gate post displays the same image on the other side of the gate.

Old red wall and gatepost in Cherry Road opposite Sheffield United's football ground main entrance. Redevelopment means that lots of old Victorian features like these gateposts have been destroyed. Even the wall would have worth keeping and building in to the new project. But developers don't think like that!
