When I did a blog on bollards GB commented I would find many in ‘new’ Liverpool compared to my 1960s trips around the side streets. How right he was!
There are bollards everywhere.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a single old-fashioned one though one of the styles was at least a reproduction of an earlier style. (I could tell they weren’t 1960s ones by the material they were made of and by the .com advert on them!)
Above are a just a few of the styles to be found nowadays.
In Chinatown the bollards are in keeping with the style of some of the other street furniture like lamp posts.
Broxap bollards are nowadays imported from China, have a look here: www.asfco.co.uk , for UK manufactured cast iron bollards and here: www.asfstreetfurniture.tumblr.com/ , for my history of street furniture. You can get me at schafer@asfco.co.uk
