Corner of Fenwick Road

I was rather taken by this fine tree on the corner of Fenwick Road, when I realised that down on the ground there was something just as interesting.

These bollards (rusty hunks of metal) signify, I think, the entrance to the Bellenden Rd regeneration area. The four different designs of bollard all appear here on the corner. All vaguely phallic, all rather annoying. They seem like the left over pieces of a giant, discarded modernist chess set. Really quite unattractive.

If they were going to commission some street furniture - bollards - for the scheme, they surely could have done better?
