29 November - Halt. Who goes there?
If
I am short of news or fancy a quiet day its easy to fall back
on another Frizoni
Folly; there seems to be an inexhaustible supply.
I cannot make head nor tail of this one. A two way cycle path is suddenly
interrupted by Give Way signs but what one is supposed to give way to is
unclear. There is no adjacent dropped kerb, there is no tactile paving and it’s
not a good place for a pedestrian to cross the road as I discovered while taking
the photographs. There is no gate or opening in the adjacent wall either so
there really is no special need for a pedestrian to want to cross the cycle path at this point.
It’s a total mystery. One can only guess it is a left over from long ago which
may have made sense then but as has been seen so often before no Bexley council official comes out
to check the work that is done in their name.
Where is it? I’m tempted not to say to ‘keep ’em guessing’ but I suppose that
might be irresponsible. OK, it’s in Erith, around the corner from the Potion Bar in Wharfside Close.
Note: with thanks to a reader’s tip off.
