Nice shot Ron, it's been a while since I was at Strumpshaw,

Lovely bird Ron, nice capture. Don`t see these locks much now a days they must be antique now and worth abit...
 
Thanks for the comments folks. Toony, you are absolutely right. Those locks must be worth a bit now as antiques. Money for old rope eh? Ron
