Not Welcome Here!

near Sherbourne, Warks. view map

My entry to the 2nd July Thursday Challenge - "Keep Out!"

Edit: a few of you have asked what this is, so here's an explanation! The farmers in this part of the world put old concrete drinking troughs across field entrances like this to stop 'undesirables' (hippies, layabouts etc) driving their vans and such into the fields and setting up camps. This one happens to be adorned with the word 'pigs' which I suppose refers to its former use as a pig trough!!

Wonderful perspective, (Cops were commonly called pigs in the 60s & 70s) great way of stopping the vehicles...and hard to vandalize.

That's over there! Here our southern boys would tie it to their pick-up, push it in the ditch, have a cold one and a cook out!!! Pork ribs of course!

I love pigs??? I guess they didn't want us hippies to cause problems with their pigs? LOL!

Aha, a semi-natural fence. Great find. Nice shot.
