Introduction
The photograph on this page of Gatepost by John Illingworth as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The grooves on the gatepost are for "shuttling poles". The opposite post (now missing) had plain round holes. One end of a pole of the correct length was placed in the round hole and the other end slid into the groove, thus forming a temporary gate/fence.
