Lost Gates

Bit of a bizarre one this. Old and forgotten gateways You've seen them out and about on your travels, well now its time to document them before they disappear for good.
Here are a few of mine to get started:

Spotted in Himley park

Close up reveals the name to be 'Hill and Smith Brierly Hill'

Odd gate this one. Look closer

Its got a door knob, rather than a handle

All gates found in Himley Park, Dudley

You may have re-discovered a public right of way! Odd these aren't they...really nice looking gates that have become overgrown and unused for years and years.

I have some pics for here in mind...I will find them out!

There's one in my garden, now covered by the hedge, that led through to next door. Apparently, there was an air raid shelter at the bottom of my garden that was shared
