First time back at a National Trust property since the lockdown began.
We had to book a slot in advance online days before we went.
There is a one way system at Baddesley Clinton due to social distancing since they reopened.
Gateposts near the exit from Baddesley Clinton.
Could see them from the Walled Garden.

A rusty gatepost to the once grand Rosefield House, now being converted into flats. Note the Greek key pattern, part of the Greek revival in early 19th Century British architecture.
I love these stylish old gateposts. They're scattered here and there around the fells, abandoned when the fences were removed.
Rock wall pedestrian gateposts, Mo‘ili‘ili Cemetery, Honolulu, November 2012: The rock wall is replacing an old, ugly wire fence.
Never spotted this before today. A huge granite gatepost being used as part of a wall at Hemsworthy Gate (sometimes White Gate) on South Dartmoor
The gatepost on the right was the entrance to Reedyford Hospital, all gone now
Originally called Reedyford Halll it was the home of the Tunstill family who donated it to the Red Cross during WW1 to use as a military hospital. After the war it was then donated to Nelson as a hospital and maintained by public funding. It had two extensions to the original Hall and in 1948 was taken over by the NHS.
One of the gateposts at the former Braim Wood school site on Wetherby Road. If you think it looks rather grand for a 1960's council run middle school (as was), then you'd be right. Look closely and you can still make out the word "lodge" which is a giveaway to it's true origins. This was originally the site of the Lodge (Gatehouse) at the bottom of the carriage drive up to Elmet Hall, which lays much further up the hill beyond the treeline.
The gatepost dates from 1905. At that time the owner of Girsby Manor was John St Vigor Fox. He was only 25 at the time, but the following year he became Sheriff of Lincolnshire and in the 1920s he was Deputy Lieutenant of the county.
Gateposts built from stones of old church which opened 18 Dec 1859 as Primitive Methodist, Methodist after Union 1900, last service 28 Jun 1931, replaced by new church in Balhannah. History of church displayed in columbarium built on site of church destroyed by bushfire 2 Jan 1955.
“Votes of thanks were moved to J. Camac, Esq., for his liberal donation and valuable services in overseeing the erection of the building.” [Advertiser 22 Dec 1859]
“The old church at Bonney's Flat, about a mile from the township, has been in use for more than 70 years, and is now inadequate.” [Chronicle 19 Feb 1931]
Northville-Placid Trail
At the boundary of Moose River Recreation Area and West Canada Lakes Wilderness
Doncaster Market Place with sheep and pig gateposts topping the columns at Sunny Bar. They are joined by a weigh-beam. The columns are clad in tera cotta tiles. The roman town name of DANUM is set in the tiles.
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.
A footpath marked upon the map, but not upon the ground leads between the stone gateposts towards the barn on the skyline - with the unfortunate name of Ratts.

Nineteenth century sandstone gatepost, part of the Caritas complex in Darlinghurst, purchased by St Vincent's Hospital from the NSW government for $1, and promptly sold for $20 000 000 to a private developer, St Hiliers.
If you've seen this in the Northowram Album, then this is the end of a journey from Brewery Lane, on the other side of the Valley!
Bare Head Lane! That lane marks the boundary between Northowram and Queensbury. That could be why this lane has gateposts - there are two!
The Gateway, to which the wall would have gone right up to once, could mark the entry way from a public road to the Stocks' estates, or simply a way of finishing the walls that were built to keep the roads from collapsing. Here we can see how the one in the valley may not be on the side we think it's on! Whatever the reason, it should be noted that these two are not as tall as the one in the valley, if they were they've snapped off, and at about the same height! :-)
Shibden Valley, Queensbury.
I really need to shoot in this neighborhood when it's not cold and blowing like crazy OR over 100 degrees.
