Railway Boundary Marker, Blakeney

At No. 1 Prospect Cottage, Blakeney Hill. A genuine Midland Railway boundary post, out of place. The owner had moved it from the front garden. There is no close railway track, the Forest of Dean Railway became GWR by 1900, and that is 350 yds at its closest point. This was purely a decoration.
