Typical of the age in which it was made - built with plenty of leeway. The pivot is a 1.25 inch diameter and the hasp is made from 0.75 inch wrought iron, the top and bottom rail and the diagonals are made from 6 X 4 inch timber. I tried to work out what the gate was for but I could only conclude that it was a gate for the railway! Image
