Breaking Jubilee Bollard News...

Yes some breaking Jubilee bollard news.

Please do click on this link 'The Richmond Society' and maybe after reading the pdf document you'll be interested in sponsoring a Richmond Royal Bollard.

I have featured the Royal Bollard(s) of Richmond over on my other blog/site 'Bollards of London' and at £375.00p per bollard complete with small plaque of who donated towards scheme this just happens to be very tempting.

Beautiful Brighton Bollards...

Red ornate Brighton bollards...

Welcome to Brighton and these rather beautiful red ornate bollards photographed by @chrissypeekaboo on the twitter in front of the 'Brighton Fishing Museum'.

If we take a look at the pictures (above/below) we see the arches and some of the bollards. If we take a look at the picture on the following link www.panoramio.com we see the bollards from another angle outside the Fishing Museum.

Tenby Bollards...

Laston House Castle Square, Tenby...

Welcome to Laston House Castle Square, Tenby where @bathcat on the twitter found these semi-ornate bollards protecting the block paved area directly outside the front door of this rather nice looking house/property.

If we look at the picture (above) we see an inscription above the curved arch in 'Greek', if translated to English it reads "The sea washes away the ills of men". According to the website 'Tenby Civic Society' this is also the motto on the Tenby coat of arms.

Steyning Bollards...

Just an illusion...?

I keep looking at these bollards in Steyning, West Sussex and wonder if they remind me of a biscuit with a similar shaped iced topping or is this picture/photograph 'just an illusion' ?

These wonderful rather dandy looking bollards were found by the @BethNash37 on the twitter and what a find they are to putting Steyning, West Sussex firmly on the bollard map of Britain.

Studley Grange Bollards...

A Studley Grange bollard...

What beautiful yet simple looking bollards we have here at Studley Grange.

The bollards are wooden with a square base and rise vertically topped/capped off with with a shallow pyramid look. Like any wooden material that happens to be outdoors it becomes weathered and even the odd crack appears adding to the beauty and aged look.

If we look closely at the bollard in the foreground in the picture above you'll notice the slightly rusting eyelet and hook that is used to safely keep the doors open.

A big thank you to the @bathcat on the twitter for these excellent detailed photographs. I should say it looks like 'Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal' are well worth a visit. The National Trust certainly does an excellent job preserving our nations heritage/past and countryside.

What a beautiful place...

A rather nice perspective/picture...

Salop House, Oswestry Bollard...?

A recessed bollard...?

Welcome to 'Oswestry' where @putting_gott on the twitter spotted this rather interesting bollard marked with the words 'Salop House' recessed into the building/brickwork.

The bollard isn't a milestone but it's placed in the most unusual place. The brickwork around the recessed area looks reasonably new when compared to the rest of the wall/corner.

The @putting_gott also sent me a very interesting link to the 'The Milestone Society' which happens to be a very interesting website and certainly worth a look.

Bournemouth Child Bollards...

Child Bollards...

We are back and will be posting more regularly on this blog/site and what a post we have here with a scary (in my opinion) 'child' bollard that can be found on Stourvale Road, Bournemouth near a school.

Oddly enough I featured the male version of 'child' bollard on a post at 'Aubert Park and a Child Bollard' at the 'Bollards of London' blog/site recently.

Can I thank @PottiJo on the twitter for this wonderful picture of the Dr Who 'child' bollards of Bournemouth.
