Devonshire Square EC2...

Devonshire Square EC2...

Back once again to the City of London and just behind the 'Heron Tower' you'll find Devonshire Square EC2 and these rather plain semi ornate bollards.
With an octagonal base and tapering body plus two ridged bands complete with a half ball top these bollards stand out and ensure most vehicles don't cut any corner. If we take a close look at the bollard above you'll notice a semi circular logo of sort and writing underneath 'Cutlers Gardens Estates Limited'. If we look at photograph (below) we see the bollards form part of the entrance to development and project a corporate image for the estate.

Now the #guestbollard feature is back and I've chosen two very different bollards to feature from two very different parts of the world.
Above we see a rather wonderful bollard complete with nose (it look likes a nose) found by @meagburnt on the twitter at Ohio Street Beach/Lake Shore Drive, Chicago USA.
Below we have some ornate chain linked bollards which have fallen over in St Petersburg, Russia found by @urberwoot on the twitter. I noticed that the Russian bollards aren't planted securely on the pavement but placed over a small protrusion in the pavement close to the kerbside.
