Stumps are the old gatepost on the WInter Hill Road, next to the masts on Winter Hill. They are of historic importance as the spot close to the place where George Henderson was murdered on the moor in 1838. At the trial of the accused murderer, the Stumps became a reference point for all of the activity on that fateful and very misty day. There is also a plaque remembering the air crash in 1958 which happened just to the right of this spot.
I spotted this weathered old gatepost in Clappers Lane, Fulking (splendid address), just catching the low, orange evening sun.
That prostrate tree in the background, incidentally, blew over many years ago (I suspect in the 1987 gales) and is now happily growing from its horizontal position.
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.

The sky was amazing at about 6pm tonight so on the way home from somewhere i stopped at the top of my street to get some pics.
I just wish I had a bit more time to find better locations to make use of the moonlight.
Seen on bridlepath on Dorset heathland. I wish I'd had time to sit and draw, but we were cycling to the sea.

Reference Number: 13000949
The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost are being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C for their excellent representation of the Tudor Revival architectural style and under Criterion C for their contribution to the development of the Westmoreland Heights Subdivision as the source of water and electricity prior to city services. The Westmoreland Wheelhouse (built in 1923) and the Gatepost (built in 1925) were designed by noted local architect Charles I. Barber of the firm Barber and McMurry. Prominent local landscape architect, Charles F. Lester provided the landscape design for the structures. The Water Wheel is a steel overshot wheel purchased by Edward T. Manning, President of the Tennessee Mill & Mine Supply Company from the Fitz Water Wheel Company of Hanover, Pennsylvania and installed by R.A. Calloway, an employee with the Tennessee Mill & Mine Supply Company. The use of East Tennessee marble is the most notable exterior architectural feature of these structures; other architectural materials worth mentioning are wood, slate, and iron. The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost retain a high degree of architectural integrity and are an excellent example of the Tudor Revival style in Knox County and meet the requirements of the National Register of Historic Places. The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost also meet the registration requirements in the Historic and Architectural Resources of Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee Multiple Property Listing under the historic context of Suburban Growth and Development in Knoxville, 1861-1940.

Westmoreland Water Wheel & Gatepost, Knoxville, Tennessee, Summary Page
There are six sets of cast iron gateposts like this one at entrances to farms between Blackburn and Mellor.
Beside the most pointless bit of footpath known to man - in the gap between the gateposts of some old estate are two paths, separated by a wall and the type of metal pole railings beloved by the council. The one to the right is steps going up to meet a gate to a private house. The one to the left goes straight ahead beneath the wall of the right-hand one, rising gradually. The lower path meets a fence whereupon it bends back on itself, going up a slight ramp to become the right-hand path. So there's steps and step-free access up to a gate at the back of house whose hidden exit is up the hill. And that's the only purpose this chunk of land serves, despite being fairly obviously public property. Judging by Google's satellite version of the place... blast, I just prepared a map of the area demonstrating what I was talking about, but Google, bless its little electron socks, decides the public version must carry my name. Not so useful. Anyway, the lines of wood, roads and gardens imply there used to be a track which continued along the axis of the path.
Anyone else tempted to amend the H to an M?
A long forgotten typical Cornish granite gatepost at the side of the footpath which leads from Furry Lane up the rear of Castle Wary Close and on into the Penrose Estate. Before the 1960s, this area above the Porthleven Road was fields. This is probably an old field gatepost now overgrown and abandoned in the woods.
