I have just realised where I can find a white gate!

Slightly disappointed today with my 'literature' hunt on my run today. I found the house I was looking for (it's the house where Lewis Carroll, or Charles Dodgson as he really was) saw a mirror (and a real-life Alice) which inspired Through the Looking Glass.) It's currently covered in scaffolding and there's no plaque :-( Here's a link (apologies that it's a Daily Heil link.) dailymail.co.uk

My fall-back on this run was the gravestone of Robert Louis Stevenson's grand-daughter who's buried in a local parish church, but I couldn't find it today and I was getting too chilled to hang around. Looks like it'll have to be the council estate known as the Poets Estate, then :-)

The place I’m going to use for the literature treasure doesn’t have a plaque or anything, the adjudicators are just going to have to take my word for it 😊

I should have said, to compensate for the literature fail, I came upon some excellent white gates which I had quite forgotten existed. As gates round here tend to be meal or plain wood, that was a bonus find :-)

I found my white gate, very happy, it has a railway signalling box in the background as a bobby bonus.

I checked out an interesting gate that I can use on my run today - and was pleased to see it was definitely white :-)

Oddly enough, Alice came up as a possibility in my 'local literary' search. But at the other end of her life.

I've found an interesting wall and a hydrant H symbol, the white gate is proving far more elusive than I imagined it would. Gates in general seem to have gone right out of fashion round here.
