Alexandra Park Fence

Here in my home town of Oldham, UK, we have a splendid public park. There are quite a few fences in there but this one recently caught my attention as it has just been completely re-furbished. An old Edwardian style wrought iron fence with a brand new coat of paint makes it a pleasure to view.
(All right then, I know some people would describe this as a bridge railing but hey….it does carry on after the bridge…I think!)

I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Hi Gudrun, I guessed that was the case some time ago as I have seen many weird and wonderful types of barriers all described as fences. Good that you enjoyed this

All go together for another HFF shot Rosa, which I now purposely look for on all my outings as I realise that my collection may be dwindling. Glad you like this one.

Lovely compositionHerb. I love the different levels of lighting. HFF and a fantastic weekend to you. Cheers, Joe

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock ^club

Yes Joe, the lighting caught my eye as much as the fence here. I have often seen this fence from the top but it was normally rusting away. Good to see such thing being renewed. Glad you liked it.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Like you David, I too have done some research on fence terminology and it varies a lot, especially between British and American descriptions. As Gudrun says though '-what the heck!'.

If it stops you going through or falling off it's a fence !!!! they have don a wonderful job restoring this lovely bridge, is it an old railway bridge / HFF Herb I hope you have a nice weekend

6 years ago.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

Point taken my friend. Nope it is simply a little bridge with a track both over and under, mainly for show. Mind you an old railway line did pass only a few hundred yards from here. Glad you liked it.

HFF, and enjoy your weekend, Herb

tiabunna ^club

A well composed image and lovely colours, both in the landscape and on the bridge, Herb. I take the rather broad interpretation (for here) that a "fence" is something intended to limit unwanted movement from a certain path or area. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

I thought that would be the case George. In your case a low wall would be called the same then! Glad you enjoyed this one.

Hi Herb

I like this very much! And certainly not to be confused with Alexandra park in Moss Side, Manchester!!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend.

Hi again Peter. Ah yes, I have heard of the same named park in Moss Side. Just taken a look at the map of that and our own park is far bigger and impressive.

That's splendid. I love to see old parks being maintained/ restored.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Rabbitroundtheworld

Makes a change from all the ones being neglected, Rabbit. You are so right, just how good a little time, effort and paint can make us feel. In these days of dwindling council coffers, I always wonder how long they can maintain this.

Best Wishes, Herb
