It's common to see, alongside railways or old railways, chunks of rail used as fenceposts or similar - particularly on ex-GWR lines which changed wholesale from bridge rail to bullhead rail at the start of the 20th century. This is at the site of the ex-LMS Staple Hill station and it's a piece of rail of very early section - bullhead but with an asymmetrical foot. I suspect it was rolled as early as c. 1840, when the railway line here was upgraded from horse tramway to steam railway. #bristol #staplehill #railway #railroad #archaeology #industrialarcheology https://www.instagram.com/forest.pines/p/BwfAOuEHnlD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ajgdnvd7nh58
