Scattered around our village in Hertfordshire are a number of methods
of presenting vehicles from damaging the pavements or buildings. The
most modern ones are cast iron bollards which have been put in
recently by the District Council. There are also some smaller iron
ones of a conical shape which were put in fairly recently. But the
historically more interesting ones are the erratics which were placed
at the corners of houses and at road junctions to stop cart wheels
from damaging the walls of buildings or road verges.
I want to write something about these but have no idea what they are,
or were, called. Anyone got any ideas?
