The 298th Borough Market Cannon Bollard...

Borough Market Cannon Bollard...

Welcome to Bedale Street at the junction of Borough High Street SE1 where I came across a new (smaller) part of the Borough Market and this fine example of a cannon bollard.

If you look at the photograph (above) you'll notice the long body (barrel) and the slightly flared end of the muzzle with a curved/rounded end.

Take a look at the photograph (below) and you'll notice the rather large tall glass building in the background which happens to be 'The Shard' but with those two open window/glass areas looking more like eyes the building may morph into a 'Transformer' at anytime.

If we take a look at the photograph second from bottom you'll notice the muzzle and the centre of the cannon is filled in with some sort/form of mortar even more evidence that this is an actual cannon and not just a plan simple bollard.

Does the Shard look like a Transformer...?

A great piece of boll-art...

The final photograph (above) is a brilliant piece of 'boll-art' and a wonderful #guestbollard provided by Lee Dobson who happens to be a member of The Bollardorium group on facebook.
