<p>Hi</p>
<p>I'm more inclined (no pun) to gate_pier as that's the HE
language and a quick google query shows many companies offering
them - that leads me to think it is in widespread use and is part
of the language of gates. The google search for gate_post shows
less substantial posts. This leads me to identify a clear
difference between gate_pier and gate_post, the former being more
substantial in form and function.<br>
</p>
<p>Like gate_finials.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Tony<br>

<div dir="auto">I have been thinking a bit about the alternative

obscure compared with gate post, cf Torpfosten (<a

down the set of.meanings. </div>

<div dir="auto">More positively I think gate_finial can be added
as a secondary tag. Most historic gate piers will have
finials, ranging from simple spheres to more elaborate ones
including pineapples.</div>

<div>No obvious winner, and whatever you choose should
get a decent boost. You can of course use both
man_made= and historic=. Given that Historic England
describes them as gate piers, perhaps
man_made=gate_pier + historic=gate_pier?</div>

<div>You'll also want to tag the listing status, see <a

wiki anything which describes gate pillars.<br>
<br>
Often found at the entrance to a substantial estate,
and often about 2 <br>
metres in height with a base of say 1 metre squared,
often with special <br>
carving, inscriptions and shapes. For many of them
the previously hung <br>
gates have been removed.<br>
<br>
Historic England have listed some of them in my
locality -<br>

four of them with no gates attached.<br>

- two <br>
of them with modern gates attached so I have listed
as barrier=gate, <br>
however this may be inadequate.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The barrier= tag should go on the (high)way that
runs between them, not on the gate pillars
themselves, I would think. You could put
removed:barrier=gate at sites where the gate has
been removed.</div>
