Great video tim and it fits in perfectly with what i am researching at the moment. I think they are light recesses however not oil lamps just like we see inside and outside churches. I am doing a little screen recording later about this subject so i will send over a copy. The gate house looks amazing its a shame the gates were locked.💚👍
I left Windmill Lane for the bright lights of Sheff over fifty years ago (pre bypass) and haven't been back there since. Can you still get right through into the outskirts of Clumber these days?
MDCCCXIV = 1814 M=1000 D=500 C=100 X=10 V=5 I=1 Yes, exceptionally beautiful, the wrought iron gates are amazing and I wondered why it was so black at the top as well.
@@timawells Not exactly, although my son did in his lunch hour at primary, but I did art and because there are many paintings showing old ruins with dates we were taught how to count in Roman numerals, always been something I can do, although not been that useful to my day to day life, lol.
Be careful on the grounds between this entrance and the abbey they hunt deer and the odd person might not be happy. It’s a shame this place wasn’t ever fully refurbished and open to the public. Also apparently the security will take your cameras if your being nosy around there but I personally have never been caught , yet

I thought the left gate was unlocked to start with Dave. I have found these recesses on the Clumber ones as well. No wiring or anything though Dave.
Excellent Tim....as ever👍
Wouldn't I like to live in the Gatehouse Leon.
Lived just down the road on Windmill Lane for twenty-odd years, they're known locally as "The Lion Gates"
I have found a cycle route along Windmill Lane.

It's the industrial pollution of course.

Hop you are well. Did you have Latin lessons like me.

These places are not all owned by the same family.
