I posted this up over Christmas and got no response, maybe our resident expert was on holiday 
So what is it? Stood by the side of the road, it's made from some thin plasticky material (fibreglass perhaps) and no more features other than what looks like a solar panel and a sticker proclaiming: 'Danger explosive atmosphere' so maybe it has batteries in it?
Yes I know in true PH style it's on its side.

Doesn't look like any current highways infrastructure - can't see why it would have EX on it. It "could" be a powered traffic counter location, or some sort of feeder pillar for an old streetlighting layout, maybe some sort of marker for an underground utility?

The other way to spot iPhone owners 
I've never known rotating the pic (from where it's stored) to work before now as it seems to carry the same code across (or whatever it is), but then i've never done it in Dropbox before now either and there we go.
I love Dropbox, it's ace.

Why are reporters so lazy and sensationalist ? Yes, the people of Shepley are indeed wiser - they now know what it is. And it doesn't take a huge leap of imagination to understand, from its name, what it does !sunnygym said:

Why does 'chipper' and 'chippy' mean sort of the opposite thing.

Chipper? I get the link to chip on shoulders, but where does chipper come from?
Do you mean wood chipper, potato chipper or feeling chipper?
'Chippy' is just a place that sells fish 'n' chips.
