The new Tornado gate guard arrived on Tuesday 19th February, was re-assembled on Thursday, and hoisted onto its concrete plinth on Friday.

You cannot access the gatehouse (which has moved), however a request through the fence got a positive response, photos can only be taken from outside.

Mid-day photos are not ideal as they are staight into the sun, an evening shot may be better.
