The railing guarded a deep pit that contained a water turbine that put power into the mill shafting. I put it up as an object because of the similarity with Gloria's railing.....
Next one for shaving?

Is it the old isolation hospital off of Gisburn Road? I believe those gateposts are now at the West Close Road entrance to Victory Park.
