We are in Star Yard WC2 where I found this ornate but modern bollard with it's circular base and tapering vertically ridged body. The top of the bollard flares outwards and then turns into an almost bell like shape finished off with a nipple tip/top.
Star Yard just happens to be home of a rather interesting tailor called Ede and Ravenscroft who were founded in 1689. The bollard(s) simply ensure nobody parks on the stone/cobbled area in front of the shop.
Bollards of London...
Welcome to bollards of London (incorporating bollards of Britain), a site dedicated to those rather odd looking pavement objects you find in the most interesting of places. Bollards have a history richer than most objects placed upon the pavement and we can easily find some from the earlier part of the 19th Century. Welcome once again to bollards of London and please do follow/contact me on the twitter @BollardsEngland or via gmail john.bollards@gmail.com #thankyou...
