Replacing Gate Posts
At Red House we have, at the last count, 81 gate posts dotted around the fields. As they have an expected life of about 20 years this means that there are about 4 to replace each year. The job is not an easy or quick one and, last Friday, we worked on two before lunch. The first in the Games Fields (only about 6 years old) was in sandy soil and a quickly done. The second (pictured), in the Moat Field, was about 40 years old and, unfortunately, set in concrete and rubble!
