The story behind this image

Another mystery portal. This time we're in Eccleston, Cheshire, and this broken down old gate leads into the Duke of Westminster's estates.

I can imagine laughing parties of young men and women passing through, in some innocent time long ago, on their way from the river Dee a few steps away, to enjoy a picnic in the estate's formal gardens beyond.
