| A very simple stone bollard... |
Welcome to the Regent's Canal in east London and please do admire this rather simple looking bollard with a circular base/domed top that happens to sit behind a Danger/warning sign letting canal/boat users know that their is a weir on the right hand side/archway.
In July this year British Waterways ceased to exist (in England and Wales) and has been replaced by the 'Canal and River Trust'. I must say doesn't the brickwork in the background look amazing. I often wonder what many of the glass buildings will look like 25 years later let alone 100 years plus.
Over the next few posts on the blog/site you'll notice that I've moved away from Westminster/Chelsea. The time has come to look further afield from the central London boroughs and seek bollards where ever they maybe. Considering this was my first foray/search around this part of east London I did rather well collecting many fine photographs of old/new bollards.

We have no #guestbollard on this particular post because I was pleased to see (below) a swan and cygnet (dingy brown colour) here on the Regent's Canal and very close to London's extremely busy Commercial Road. Can I say even though British Waterways is now defunct they should be proud at the work they've done to keep this canal and its water looking so clean.

Bollards of London (a Swan and Cygnet)...
You never know what you'll encounter on this blog. Bollards, of course, but now a swan and cygnet too - loved seeing the water and learning about the demise of British Waterways.
