Westminster City Council bollard with gold painted badge/crest...
Bollards of Wookey Hole, Somerset and models of Policemen...
The 193rd post (bollard) is of a bog standard Westminster City Council bollard (top picture) with a difference.If we take a close look at the emblem/crest/badge we can see it is painted gold something the council doesn't normally do. Whilst trying to confirm the badge/crest/emblem is Westminster's I came across this rather interesting website www.civicheraldry.co.uk that details all of the coats of arms of London borough's and many more.
I believe the badge/emblem/crest is the former coat of arms of the old (pre 1965) Westminster City Council and this is confirmed at www.civicheraldry.co.uk where we can see the shield part of the coat of arms clearly on the bollard.
If we take a look at the picture above we will see the #guestbollards of the wonderful @MlleSorbet on the twitter which are from an area called Wookey Hole, Somerset I must say the bollards are rather fine even dandy, but who came up with the idea of these fantastic looking Policemen. Can we class them has bollards ? I'm not sure, but they carry an important warning sign that children cross the road at this particular spot in a rather nice pleasant fashion.
