The Anonymous Widower

What a Load of Old Bollards!

I just had to post this picture, I took at Canary Wharf.

Bollards on Parade

I suppose you could call them functional and protective.  Just like a troop of Grenadier Guards!

Thw Wikipedia article about Canary Wharf explains how the district was named.

Canary Wharf itself takes its name from No. 32 berth of the West Wood Quay of the Import Dock. This was built in 1936 for Fruit Lines Ltd, a subsidiary of Fred Olsen Lines for the Mediterranean and Canary Island (Insula Canaria (from canis) “Island of Dogs”) fruit trade. At their request, the quay and warehouse were given the name Canary Wharf.

So it had nothing to do with Norwich City!
