SteveHB Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yet another 'Pair of 'Bollards' I found hanging about in the City center. This pair do bare the 'HN' mark, but with what appears to be crossed by a 'C' So where can they be seen ?, second and more difficult question is, what's that 'C' about then? Are are they mutating ..

This pair do bare the 'HN' mark, but with what appears to be crossed by a 'C' So where can they be seen ?, second and more difficult question is, what's that 'C' about then? Are are they mutating .. From the expression on her face the woman's about to tell the man there's a bloke taking her picture. So then Steve has to explain that he's really really interested in bollards, and that's what he's photographing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Judging by the expression on her face - do you think he's woken up yet?? As for the C, it could be a centenary casting to commemorate the provision of the originals and to replace some that might have been 'lost'.

So then Steve has to explain that he's really really interested in bollards, and that's what he's photographing.... I happen to have had a few scrapes with others Bayleaf, due to taking photographs. One happened to be with the Police ! Looked like ending up in the 'High Court' Judging by the expression on her face - do you think he's woken up yet?? As for the C, it could be a centenary casting to commemorate the provision of the originals and to replace some that might have been 'lost'. mike142sl, Looks like a good explanation for the 'C' to me. Anyone got an answer for question one then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There's a family of them outside the Cathedral' I think we're been invaded. Does anybody remember the family of Bollards on Leadmill Rd now gone (I know you will Steve) There was a mixture of these iron ones and more modern concrete ones all the way around a concrete area where you could play football. Looking at the old maps now it is obvious this area was part of the old Lead Mill Dam Steve have you any photos of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Another view from Picture Sheffield This is described as the 1960's Steve Is this taken just below the Truro? If it is should there be an old garage there with a sort of raised grass verge and advertisement hoardings, usually advertising Studio 7 and forthcoming football matches at Bramhall ln etc. Then there was the houses you lived in.

Guest bus man Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ....Leadmill bus park - with the bollards - taken on a Sunday late 70's............... Surprised no one as pointed out that the first shot of the neepsend : the body on this was made in sheffield in what is now jewal razor blade place on penistone road neepsend was a subsidury of East Lancs which made buses at the neepsend site for around 5 years in the late 1960 I can remember looking to see what was there on my way to Grandmas at Burrowlee Road. Note the shot of the bus in STD livery with the fleetnames , fleet numbers and coat of arms painted out this was standard practice as STD and PTE were paranoid that someone would buy a old STD bus and run it against them they even had stencils made to fit the numbers etc so they could be put over and just painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl1867 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Came across this cheeky little chap across the road from the entrance to Concord Park - complete with City crest - how on earth has that survived! Do these appear anywhere else in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjj Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Came across this cheeky little chap across the road from the entrance to Concord Park - complete with City crest - how on earth has that survived! Do these appear anywhere else in the city? Now that picture DOES take me back. I remember leap frogging over the ballard everytime we went to the park. A family tradition on summer Sundays Concord park putting green, a ride on the monster rocking horse in the playground then the beer garden behind the Horseshoe for a bottle of "Orangilo" and a bag of crisps.

Guest Old Canny Street Kid Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Does anyone know the story behind these emblems ?? They are on the bollards and the lampost outside the "Fat Kat" ,, I feel sure that, back in the mid-1950s, there used to be some exactly like these in Leadmill Road, not far from the junction with St Mary's Road. Od course, in those days, they weren't painted blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popt Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 A friend of mine used to work for a design office situated somewhere off Carlisle Street, I think it was 'Sreetscene' or similar name. They designed iron street furniture such as copies of old railings, bollards, lamposts etc. A lot of the designs were based on items pictured in Victorian catalogues. This company supplied quite a lot of cast iron items for many Sheffield council developments such as the Five Wears Walk etc. It could well be that the bollards you are talking about were cast ion a iron foundry in Derby and supplied by the office off Carlisle Street. Sorry I cannot be more specific but it is another piece to the jigsaw, maybe some else who reads this may be able to elaborate. PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Od course, in those days, they weren't painted blue. Yes they were, all way around what we called the "recc", which obviously was part of the covered in Leadmill Dam. By the mid to late late 60's when I lived there they were black and rusty. Some had been replaced with a concrete version. Sure they have been mentioned before.

Guest skeets Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I still think they were cast to commemorate the death of Horatio Nelson. The coronet indicates the peerage. Haven't a clue where the pink ones are though. HI tsavo if the DUKE OF NORFOLK'S first Christian name bigins with aitch, it may be a clue .Skeets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesse Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The 13th Duke of Norfolk was Henry Howard and the 15th Duke was Henry Fitzalan-Howard from about 1886 to 1937 - don't know if that's of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
