The few remaining structures of the only SS Concentration Camp to be built on British soil.
Lager Sylt housed the OT, in charge of constructing many of the islands roads and fortifications. It also held all of the Jewish prisoners on the island.
Prisoners were hung, shot and beaten for simple acts like stealing more bread to supplement meagre rations
The plaque reads - 'some 400 prisoners died here between March 1943 and June 1944'
These gateposts remain at what was the entrance to Norton Hill Colliery sidings where they branched of from the Somerset & Dorset Railway.
Do you recognise this bit of sandstone?
It's a gatepost on Everton Cemetery which is, interestingly, nowhere near Everton.
Just passing when I was picking Laura up from work today.
This set of gates stand at the south eastern edge of Workington Hall grounds and the pillars are topped by the Curwen family's unicorn-head crest. 'General history: Baronets', Magna Britannia: volume 4: Cumberland describes the Curwen family's Baronetcy (now extinct) thus: "Curwen of Workington, 1626.—This ancient family were descended from Ivo de Talbois, who married Elgiva, daughter of Ethelred, King of England, their immediate descent being from Orme, second son of Ketel, grandson of the said Ivo. Sir Patric Curwen , the lineal descendant of Orme, was created a baronet in 1626. The title became extinct by his death in 1664, but the male line of the family was continued by a younger brother, and became extinct in 1778, by the death of the late Henry Curwen, Esq. His only daughter, the last of this ancient family, married her cousin, John Christian, Esq. of Unerigg, who in 1790 took the name of Curwen by the King's sign manual, in addition to his own. This family have married the coheiresses of Dalston and Selby."

Heading down Metchley Lane in Harborne towards Harborne Park Road. This was slightly before a wind and rain storm started. Storm Diana was in full flow by the time I caught the 11A bus, but was ok before I got to the bus stop.
Old gateposts - just leads to three tower blocks, starting with Metchley House at this end.

The part of the Templer Way that meets the road at Haytor Vale that passes over Black Hill. The standing stone/granite gatepost is visible in the distance.
Its hard to imaging what used to pass through these gates. As featured in Ealing Comedy's finest - The Titfield Thunderbolt.
This used to be sort of a landmark/gatepost for a nearby marina. I don't remember if there was ever a light in the top or not. It's kind of rusty and in disrepair now. Without using off-camera flash, you could only see the tower in silhouette. This lets you see how rusty the metal is.
I metered manually for the sunset and then let the camera take care of the flash using the SB800 as a remote and the pop-up as the commander with both in TTL mode. The SB800 is just out of the frame, opposite the boat. You can see the spill of light on the grass on the left side of the frame. It is aimed about halfway up the tower, set to a wide angle zoom.

GALLERY NOTES:
"This tower was actually built from a mail-order kit that was sold in an attempt to enlist the citizens of our country to aid in spotting enemy aircraft. After the war, it was promoted for use as a fire observation tower. It now stands as a local landmark at the entrance to the Hancock’s Harbor Marina."
A concrete gatepost with the remains of the gate, still attached to rusted hinges, at the entrance to Blaen Bran Reservoir. I remember the gate as a child when the Water Board still maintained the reservoir. With the number of holes in the perimeter fence they may as well have left the gates wide open.
I spotted this padlock on a circular walk from Grindleford, taking in Padley Gorge and other parts of the Longshaw Estate!
And it's posted here just because it's a photo I love!
St James' Road, Church, Hyndburn, Lancashire, England
TWO East Lancashire churches are to close because of dwindling and ageing congregations.
St James ‘Church Kirk’, in Hyndburn, dating from 642 AD, with a medieval tower, will shut its doors later this month.
St Bede’s, in Nelson, founded after the First World War at the request of local people, will close some time next year.
The news that two places of worship are to be lost has saddened church leaders, politicians and their congregations.
Bishop of Burnley Philip North has warned that more churches may have to close as the Church of England in East Lancashire responds to changes in population and patterns of worship, but he said each closure was a matter for the congregation, not for the Diocese of Blackburn.
Bishop Philip, who will take the final service on Sunday, November 22, said the part-medieval Grade II-listed Church Kirk and 800-year-old tower were simply too expensive to repair and maintain.
It will be replaced by a new congregation at the nearby St Nicholas’ Primary School in St Nicholas’ Road, Church, on Friday evenings, aimed at younger worshippers and families.
Older, more traditional High Anglican worshippers at Church Kirk, in St James’ Road, Church, will be welcomed at churches nearby.
Hyndburn council Labour leader Miles Parkinson described the closure as “disappointing” and his Tory predecessor, Peter Britcliffe, said it was “very sad”.

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
Westmoreland Water Wheel & Gatepost
Knoxville, Tennessee
Listed 12/18/2013
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.
