Stratford gate replaces iron rail stile
Yesterday Ian M. and I dismantled the extremely old and rather awkward iron rail stile at the lower entrance to the Sledging Field. We replaced it with a Stratford gate, see "before and after" pictures below. This will make access much easier when a new field gate is installed, as it should be chained when required to control the grazing régime when the cows return to us around the start of March 2018.
The gate was given to us by our area Somerset C.C. paths warden, as this gateway is part of a public footpath (no:FR20/10). Jimm Y-->
