This is a pretty dull shot even for me, a veteran of posting pictures of rotting fenceposts just because they have a connection to a long-disused railway! Nevertheless, here it is ... the stump of a telegraph pole which once carried the lineside telephone cables along the route of the Severn & Wye Railway's Lydbrook branch. There are quite a few of these remaining around here, along with plenty of railway fenceposts.
