I grew up in The Royal Oak and walked home along that same path hundreds of times. When I left the area (mid '80s) it was too dangerous to use the old railway track. It looks like they've tidied it up a lot.
The 2 metal posts, if my distant memory serves me right, are left over from a disasterous experiment with electric fencing in the early '70s when cows were kept in the field and vegetables grown the other side.
Love the video. I have also done this exact walk. Awesome.

Thank you for a fabulous trip down memory lane.

Could the posts have been there for a gate? they may have been sturdier and harder to remove than the rest of the fence.

The Ship Inn in the last view of Langstone is a fine pub, as is the Royal Oak, and is the building nearest the road to Hayling.
