This path leads down to Derwent village (destroyed in the mid-1940s to make way for Ladybower Reservoir), the Vicarage would have been on the left (only the gateposts survive at the bottom).

Taken at Eyeworth Pond, in the New Forest, on 'that' gatepost! I'm always amazed at the number and range of woodland birds that flock around this car park, feeding from locations where food has been strategically placed, including directly out of hand! This Nuthatch had just missed the last of the crumbs, which had been devoured by a flock of Blue Tits, and is about to take off again. Fortunately for me, I managed to capture the picture a split second beforehand. Definitely more luck than judgement with the timing on this one!

Gatepost that once supported the entrance gate to the yard.

The flower pots were on the gateposts and also on the corner of the wall.

I mean, you can see why my mom feels the need to clothe them in knitted hats, don't you? ;-)

Actually, it's one of her ways to advertise her woolen business - gotta try to lure the tourists home to the farm to buy some of my mom's woolen goods.

As you can see, spring isn't as far along in the northwest as here in the southwest. Of course it warmed up considerably the day after I left. Typical!

so old, the field gate itself is long gone!

Looks like this gate post has been there forever.

Looking north towards Childes Tomb

A cast iron gatepost at the entrance to the former Church of St Mary the Virgin, Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. The church was replaced by a new structure nearer the centre of the village in 1886 and the original church was abandoned. It gradually became more and more derelict until the death of some local children from falling masonry caused it to be demolished in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The site of the church is still marked by the iron railings that surrounded it and a few graves survive amongst the rubble and undergrowth. 11th February 2009.

I managed a lockdown walk involving some unfamiliar paths this morning. At Anniesland, between Great Western Road and Glencoe Street, is the entrance to a long, winding open space, the Temple Walkway. These gateposts and the large expanse of cobbles presumably relate to an earlier use of the site.

This strip was, I find, the location of a railway line, the Cowdenhill Branch (North British Railway) serving the Knightswood Colliery, Skaterigg, Cowdenhill and Temple. I reckon what we see here are the remains of a goods yard, the Knightswood Mineral Depot (1928-65). In the 19th century around this area were several ironstone and coal mines, and brick and tile works requiring transport links.

This part of Glasgow has various place names apparently related to the Knights Templar: Jordanhill, Temple, and Knightswood. The name Temple of Garscube appears on old maps near the canal a short distance to the north, and can be found in a document from 1655, but I am not sure any historical link back to the Templar Knights has been confirmed.

Thats what it is, the top of one of the gateposts at Queensbury Cemetery.

With the help of a little paint, this presumably pineapple-inspired gatepost ornament has transformed into something more reminiscent of a strawberry.

A decades - old corner post in wrought - iron which sets off a group of headstones in Christchurch Cemetery.

Gatepost fungus

Our gatepost has seen better days so the water gets into the wood where it is cracked and these cute little toadstools grow there too!

Best viewed in set. At the top of a hill on a dirt track was this gatepost, which serves to give a sense of perspective on the lion.

These gateposts are all that survive of the Derwent village Vicarage. It survived for a couple of years after the rest of the village was demolished in the mid-1940s to make way for Ladybower Reservoir, but the Vicarage was finally knocked down in the late 1940s.
