Decommissioning of ships in the late 18th and early 19th century saw the fleet cut by 80% and a whole load of useless cannons stacking up on the quayside ready for scrap, until someone came along, upended one and stuck a cannon ball in the muzzle and threw a rope around it and the bollard was born.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1588\" style=\"width:

that manufacturer\u2019s lobbied parliament to prevent the re-use of captured cannons as weapons and rather than scrap them put them to good use.<\/p>\n<p>With the increase of various forms of traffic, bollards took on a new lease of life preventing carriages and later vehicles from unauthorised access.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you spy a traditional bollard take a closer look, it may actually be part of our heritage and not just a boring old lump of metal.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pirate.jpg\"><img
