Bollards reach Farmers Bridge
We set off for a short cruise today, hopping between places with transport links to visit our daughter, Susan, in hospital. We’re only about 3 miles from where we started, but that includes the 13 locks of the Farmers Bridge locks where new bollards were being installed. They were all being set into the lock side with great care. I wondered if one was being set up as an art exhibition with the spade and pile of bricks. 
At least they weren’t wasting money placing new ones where there were serviceable old ones already there. As we went down in the lock I wondered how you were supposed to pay out the rope if you had passed it round one of the new square bollards, as you could with the old round ones. Perhaps the new ones will be just as round in 100 years time. We’re moored on the visitor moorings at Aston Science Park tonight. 
We will be heading towards Knowle tomorrow, although I need to study the timetables to see whether it will be better to stop before or after there. Posted on Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 21:20 Comments (0) |
