Where to?

Have you ever had a nagging question about something you have seen for years, and one day you say to yourself, "OK that's it. I am going to find out more about this. It may not be my business, but...so."

Let me introduce The Gates. These have been in my periphery vision every time I drive down this particular road, and I do not remember when they were not there.



















Closed and padlocked. From this angle you may not be able to tell it, but there is no real drive on the other side, and it has been this way for years. There is only the path that the grass mower has made. From where I took this picture there is no evidence that there were ever any structures there.

























I wonder if there used to be a house? If so what happened to it? Nothing left behind to give you any inkling.

With those famous words in mind: Tomorrow is another day I aim to find out what was once behind the wrought iron gates.

    Maybe it burned down or maybe they had planned to build but never got the money or maybe the person that wanted to build died or maybe it is just to strike your curiosity. Oh now I need to know.

    Keep us posted :)

    Oh do let us know when you find out. I always wonder the same thing when I see old structures.

    Does it go all the way around? Or just the big pad locked gate standing alone?
    Count me in. I want to know when you find out.

    There are similar gates/fences in my area. I always wonder the same thing. Perhaps a walk through the property will reveal a clue?
    Lovely gate, too. Somebody's dream?
    Hope you find out and share with us.
    Hugs,

    There are many plots like this with smart gates and no house around us. We are told that it is land that people hope one day to be allowed to build on.
