On the borders of the City of London you'll come across an area called Whitechapel infamous for the Victorian murderer called "Jack the Ripper".
The area also has a very rich diverse cultural mix with many coucil estates, new developments and old Victorian/Edwardian houses. Along with this mix we come across the many different designs of bollards and here we can see a very old looking black and white zebra stripped "cannon" shaped bollard with a rather large protrusion at the base near the kerbside.
On closer inspection we have a label/badge attached just above the protrusion or can I call it a hump? What is funny though with this picture is the cluster of three modern bollards in the background seemingly looking on in awe of the much grander/older piece of history/street furniture.
Bollards of London...
