Highgate West Hill 1826...

Posted on the 04 January 2012 by Bollards Of London @bollardoflondon

A very tall imposing 'cannon' type bollard.

St. P/S.W.D/1826 another 19th century bollard ?


With a square shaped shallow base this rather tall 'cannon' type bollard quickly turns into a rather sturdy/chunky circular column which is ridged/ribbed at lower and upper parts in equal proportions.
The top section of the bollards is painted black with a white half ball shaped top. On the main body of the bollard we can see the lettering St.P/S.W.D/1826 (picture above) have we managed to come across another bollard from the early part of the 19th century ?
We are approaching the 200th post (bollard) here on the blog/site and it is fascinating to be still finding bollards so different and of such an age here in the capital.
