Whatever happened to the maypoles?

Today is the last day of May. How time flies and how was your month? Mine was good, but in one aspect disappointing. You remember me blogging at the beginning of the month about maypoles, this folkloric fertility symbol that used to be fairly common in the UK. I said then that I wanted to see them and my objective for May 2019 was to search for them and find them. Turns out, if there are any nearby, they escaped my attention. Maybe I did not look hard enough, but they seem very elusive. Whatever happened to them?
