The gates beside the Wilmcote - Billesley road are unmistakably former railway level crossing gates. Although now painted black they even have all the substantial cast-iron posts and associated characteristic ironwork. From their size they probably came from somewhere that a substantial road crossed a double track railway. Can anyone provide any further details? My guess is Evesham Road crossing in Stratford-upon-Avon!
