Upper Hinge - Southern Gate1242 mol gekuckt ginnView from the stable yard of the upper hinge on the southern gate post. Because the bolt on the bracket was close to the hinge, the hinge itself could not be mounted in the centre of the gate post. The hinges, therefore, appear to have cracked the gate posts on both sides.

Photographs of Screws from Top Hinges620 mol gekuckt ginnThese screws were removed from the top hinges: they connect the hinge to the large gate posts. The screw on the left is from the southern gate post, and measures 1 3/8 inch. The screw on the right is from the northern gate post, and measures 3 1/2 inches. I showed this photograph to Marjorie thinking she'd be surprised. She said that the screws on the right (northern) gate all started to pop out, so Nigel replaced them on the day he came to pick up his cheque.
