Art on the canal.

An old mooring bollard or post, that according to the adjacent edgestone is at least 100 years old. The wear of the ropes from the canal boats, has transformed this wooden trunk into a thing of beauty. Each twist, split, crack and distortion bears witness to its past, and it is still in use today! Just look at how the ropes have undercut the post.
