Ever wondered why the bollards around London look like Cannon?

London bollard South Bank

They Are! Left over French Cannon (left over from the cannons used in the 1815 battle of waterloo) were used to protect street corners and pavements. As they wore out they were replaced with replicas to keep the style. Some original ones remain in south bank.

It's fascinating to know that London's seemingly ordinary bollards carry a piece of history — from the French cannon at Retro Bowl the Battle of Waterloo to today's street-protecting symbols, they're a living testament to how the city preserves its past in every little detail.

Just restocked my tank with shrimp from Shrimp Up Aquatics, and I couldn't be happier. The shrimp up aquatics were well-packed and full of energy as soon as I added them. Their colors are vibrant, and they bring a natural charm to my aquascape. Perfect for shrimp enthusiasts!
