@RHummBooks @Dave_H_King Replied on original post - looks like toll gate at Lower Road, Folkestone warrenpress.net/FolkestoneThen…

@Dave_H_King Very unusual, in fact probably not a level crossing at all. It looks rather like a tollgate, or maybe the lodge and gate of a large country house. If only we could read that notice!

Anyone out there who can suggest location, or maybe even just the railway company, the gate seems an unusual design? @RHummBooks

@postcard13 @LoveOfGates Looks like the Toll Gate at Lower Road, Folkestone from a different angle to the usual RP one More pics here: warrenpress.net/FolkestoneThen…

#Thursgate Unidentified location of this RP postcard, lady standing by a level crossing gate. #socialhistory ⁦@LoveOfGates⁩ #postcard #oldpostcard

@LBFlyawayhome I like to think @fakehistoryhunt advised them as a child 😂

@mudlarkanna That’s absolutely amazing 🥰 What’s the story behind that colour?

What a colour #thames #bottles #mudlarking

@rawlimark I need that seat 🥰 Like his table but prefer mine (used as my dressing table, obviously!)

@EilidhCarr Love this ☺️ Memories of my nana (grandma) with the Ponds jar 🥰 I’m finding a few in my garden now I live on Bute but was given some from a neighbour today from a cowp on her childhood farm. This one is a definite treasure

Some low tide treasure finds today ✨️ #OuterHebrides

@BritishDeerSoc I have a particular soft spot for the white fallow buck at #FountainsAbbey @nationaltrust

Deer Trivia: Fallow Deer Colour Varieties Fallow deer are fashionistas of the deer world! 🦌 They show a range of colours: common, menil, black, white, and rarer shades like sooty-dun or silver-grey. Most other deer species have more uniform coats. #DeerTrivia #FallowDeer

@PhilSledge I rehomed her a few weeks ago and she’s enjoying having full run of the house - this is her chosen place ☺️

Show off the snaps of your pet on the sofa Starting with mine. We have no dogs on the sofa rule too 😂

@LesleyERoberts1 @CalMac_Updates MV Argyle is fine, MV Bute the passenger lift is currently out of order. Passengers can access deck via foot passenger route, but not sure what Calmac have in place if you’re a disabled solo driver 🤷‍♀️ (I’m a Bute resident btw)

@CalMac_Updates Apparently all disabled passengers were kept in their cars yesterday. Doing the rounds on social media @CalMac_Updates Wouldn’t like to think your being economic with the truth

Wondering if there is any truth in the fact that disabled passengers are being kept in their cars during their one hour trip to Bute because there is another technical fault??? Had a risk assessment been done if this is accurate @CalMac_Updates

@Superproprep Thank you ☺️ It’s a fabulous island. I moved here 7 months ago, adopted my Shiba Inu girl a week ago on her retirement (from a show/breeding home). She’s living the dream ☺️

@Bru_Mog What a beautiful place, and a very handsome dog!

CHRISTMAS EVE WALKIES... Cold and clear; Colin and the Windy Tree. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

@mudlarkanna Corgi 268 Green Hornet ‘Black Beauty’ driver - similar here on eBay ebay.us/m/VNb77K

Who is this fellow? He’s 1930s I think - a train driver? Why does he seem to have an eye mask like a cat burglar? Please let me know. Found on the #thanes this morning. #figurine #mudkarking

For those who don’t follow me on Insta, have some Isle of Bute otters 🥰 3 cubs and their mum photographed yesterday

The rut is beginning at Studley Royal 🦌🦌🦌@BritishDeerSoc @nationaltrust

@geologymull I love that road - for the scenery and the bonus of feral goats down the narrow single track shoreline 🥰

Over to Ballachulish today to pick up our boats historic log books. Went by Kingairloch on the way back. Much slower but great views that way See Alt-txt

Spending time on my own on the shore has many benefits (when I can ignore the legendary West Coast midgies!) Young otter kits were yesterday’s reward for a few hours of patience 🥰 #otter #otters

Fabulous rainbow above Pateley Bridge early this morning ☺️ @MoorlandAssoc @unidderdalemg @Pateley_Bridge @nidderdaleuk #nidderdale

@RichardStockda5 - I can’t avoid sheep! And still put the camera down to help when needed 😂

It was a busy few hours!

Spent an hour or so taking pics of first day of shearing a large Scottish Blackface flock here on the island - then pushed my sleeves up to roll/pack fleeces for a few hours @BritishWoolFarm #isleofbute #shearing #farming #sheep @BritishWool
