The country's smallest Grade II listed building? A partly buried guide stoop, or guide post, to be seen in Hay Dale near Wardlow. Dated 1737, it has been moved from its original site and also appears to have been used as a gatepost at sometime. Recycling isn't a new idea....
This side has 'Tidswell Road' carved into it.
A happy group of revelers on their stoop (I'm guessing it's their stoop).
The girl on the right was originally standing up against the railing, and they were all casually talking and drinking. When I approached them and asked if I could take their photo, they pretty much immediately posed like this. Yet I really wanted more of an un-posed candid shot...

The "Sanibel Stoop" is the phrase used to describe the position of shellers while collecting their treasured finds.
Billions of shells are washed ashore during the North-Western winter storms making Sanibel one of the best places in the world for shelling.
The charm and irresistible lure of shelling is embodied in the unique names of Sanibel's best-known shells: The Angel Wing, the Banded Tulip, the Lightening Welk and the Rose Petal Tellin.
Even the Cockle shells have descriptive names: Prickly, Strawberry and Egg Cockles.
I've always wanted a stoop to call my own. I'd kick it out there all the time with my dog and just watch people go by. Except I won't be afraid to leave my stoop like that coward "stoop kid" on Hey Arnold.
The Peregrine Falcon reaches faster speeds than any other animal on the planet when performing the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph), hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_Falcon
