That second one looks like target practise for the local scrotery!
Nice find.

Thanks,
They were, unfortunately.
Every four years, a new one would be erected, I know of one other possibility .I'll have a look next time I'm out that way but I give no hope.
This one was in the posh, genteel village of Kilmacolm, I'll see my contacts up there for more information.

This old lamppost was originally one erected outside the home of the local Town Provost ( a Jock version of Mayor).
It had an ornate light with the local authority crest on all four panes of glass, sadly now left to the vagaries of everything.

The same as this.

What a shame people can't have nice things.

Vandalism is sadly a part of society now.

I see that more as criminal damage to property. The Crown asks for 200 hours community service, M'Lud.

I know a couple of the (higher ranking) Clergy, at Wakefield Cathedral, & have suggested that they build a replica set, & install them by the west-door, or the south, & sell left overs from the Treacey Hall café, to throw on Saturday afternoons
Sadly, Canon Tony, thinks I wasn't being serious

Rather posh, genteel, nose in the air Kilmacolm doesn't do sewers (apparently the posh never s*it)

One of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's architectural designs
'Windyhill' in nearby posh village of Kilmacolm

there is another but not so obvious gatehouse with Mackintosh connections nearby

I knew one of the previous owners and know that he'll be kicking himself as he placed it on the market for under a mill.
£3 mill, aye right, chanty wrassler.

Remains (fireplace and chimney) of rail walkers shed along the old now defunct Greenock and Ayrshire Railway. I remember the shed was of wood, not too large but as usual, some ned burnt it down(I'm talking late 60s early 70s) when I worked at a nearby farm. The old railway is now part of NCN 75(used daily when not icy/snowy). A recent water pipe was cut across the track about 20 ft from the ruin, I kinda mentioned to the site foreman I was keeping an eye on it in case they just razed it to the ground, why not.
Mind you, a bit iffy really a wooden building with a fireplace.
