Gatepost
Hillside Avenue & 191st Street
Hollis Park Gardens
Holliswood, Queens
Hollis Park Gardens was established in 1906. Streets from 191st to 195th were to be lined with substantial homes for affluent middle-class families. An advert in HOUSE & GARDEN in July 1910 noted: "Its homes are not of the stereotyped sort but are distinctive without being expensive."

I walk past this on my home from work and always stop and wonder what was here when this gatepost was new. it is on Goodman Street outside motorsave Hunslet Branch. Theres not much left of old (50 year +) Hunslet but this looks like it has seen some life. Nice shape with lovely pattern carved in Top front face.
St Mary, Dennington, Suffolk
Superlative church in the wilds of East Suffolk. With its two near neighbours Badingham and Brundish it makes a delicious group.

I was out in east Suffolk test-driving the new Buildings of England: Suffolk , a real pleasure. At nearly every church I found something I hadn't noticed before.
The new edition is in two volumes, Suffolk:East and Suffolk:West. Pevsner had only needed a single volume of about 500 pages for the first edition, but the fabulous new expanded edition runs to more than 1300 pages. The new Buildings of England volumes for Suffolk are published on April 23rd. People will just have to buy both.
An old gatepost on Pike Low above Derwent Reservoir.

Pair of hawk moths found on a neighbour's gatepost. Our suburban street is lined with mature silver birch. The red splashes are from a newly painted fence.
The squirrel sat there long enough for me to go into the house, dig out the D750, change lenses and return to the scene.
St Oswald's church Ashbourne, Derbyshire; the gateposts (a fairly typical style for the time) are early 18th century and designed by Robert Bakewell, who also did the iron gates at Derby Cathedral.
There is a blue plaque at King Edward's School on the new brick gateposts on the Bristol Road in Edgbaston.

This gatepost is the only visible remainder of Tantallon (sometime residence of the Rev S Peshall and Mrs Peshall), demolished in 1969 for the construction of the Wessex Way along with Stanfield (9) and Glendoe (13). The remains of their front gardens are now a strip of surface car parking.
An HDR attempt to bring the most out of this old gate post , the sky had turned featueless and no colour in the water , whilst taking these shots camera was tripod mounted , and during this my first ever sighting of a tree creeper was spiraling up the tree to left out of shot , and my telephoto lenses in the car !! can't have it always !
Memorial to Philip Hill 1883-1970 for a "lifetime service to this church".
The Conways opened two tinplate works on the Avon Llwyd river in Cwmbran in 1800 and 1806, the latter, at the bottom of Chapel Lane surviving into the twentieth century. Concerned for the spiritual welfare of their workers, they started running services in a room at the Chapel Lane works. They funded a chapel here up the hill from their Chapel Lane works in 1815, but in 1836 funded this impressive church on the same site.

Beneath the cobwebs, frost, lichen, sun-cracked paint and corrosion, the post probably isn't remarkably old (I'd guess it's no older than 20th Century), but it looks ancient.

"One of the 'Magnificent Seven' parkland cemeteries created in the early Victorian period, albeit set out in an entirely different way to the others and with somewhat wider purposes, Abney Park features an entrance designed by William Hosking FSA in collaboration with Joseph Bonomi the Younger and the cemetery's founder George Collison II. This frontage was built by John Jay in the then increasingly popular Egyptian Revival style, with hieroglyphics signifying the "Abode of the Mortal Part of Man": a venture too far into the architecture of the African continent for Augustus Pugin, who pilloried the idea, hoping no-one would repeat such a radical departure from 'good' Christian gothic design (see illustration for Grounds of a Quaker School). A similar criticism had previously been made when the first Egyptian-style entrance to a western cemetery had been constructed at Mount Auburn Cemetery in the 1830s, on which Abney Park Cemetery was partially modelled. By contrast, figures who appreciated the composition complimented Hosking and Bonomi on their scholarly frontage design; an arbiter of design taste, John Loudon, described it as a 'judicious combination of two lodges with gates between'."
"Abney Park cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London, England.
"Abney Park in Stoke Newington, in the London Borough of Hackney, is a historic parkland originally laid out in the early 18th century by Lady Mary Abney and Dr. Isaac Watts, and the neighbouring Hartopp family.
"In 1840 it became a non-denominational garden cemetery, a semi-public park arboretum, and an educational institute, which was widely celebrated as an example of its time. A total of 196,843 burials had taken place there up to the year 2000. It is a Local Nature Reserve.
"The cemetery is named after Sir Thomas Abney, who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1700–01. The manor of Stoke Newington belonged to him in the early 18th century and his town house, built in 1676, stood on the site of the present cemetery until its demolition in the 1830s.
"In 1840, Abney Park opened as a model garden cemetery, a pioneering non-denominational place of rest. Its approach was based on the Congregational church's role in the London Missionary Society (LMS), whose fundamental principle was to develop a wholly non-denominational exemplar. It also drew on American burial ideas, specifically Mount Auburn in Massachusetts."

A beautiful, crisp, autumn day, so I walked the 10 miles(ish) to Largs. A wee bit faster than this tiny snail rushing up a stone gatepost near West Kilbride.
Back in 1892, 46 Beverley Rd was the home of dentist Zachariah Charles Blyth L.D.S.,R.C.S. Later he had a son, Joseph Charles, killed in 1917 in the Great War, and three daughters, Hilda, Violet, and Dora. Presumably this house and No 44 were once a part of Kingston College, built 1836-7, where a pair of similar gate-piers (which have lost the decorative top) still stand on Beverley Rd, flanking a path leading the the Kingston Youth Centre, which is set back a short distance from the road. No 46 was perhaps built at the same time as the former College lodge at No 44 next door had its upper storey added.
Cast Iron railings and gatepost supporting unusual square lamp standard. Building C (S) listed by Historic Scotland since 1979. Listing includes railings and remains of lamp standard. Building first shown on OS map in 1876 which may give a rough date for the lamp standard.
