I have no idea how to rotate this picture but anyway, it was a massive piece of sandstone and has been there for at least 150 years. I definitely wouldn’t fancy my chances arm-wrestling the fellas who put these posts in!!!

aye too true, but time was cheap then too.... a year to build one of they there walls was the norm ..... but can see whyI’m firmly of the opinion that a few generations back men must have been much tougher than these gym bunnies nowadays. Look at the stone walls over the mountain tops anywhere we’ve got mountains and think how they got built, all of the early roads, canals, railway earthworks apart from the Great Central, the pyramids, etc., Can you imagine tackling some of the small jobs we do without engines, hydraulics, winches or electricity?
