When the Kemp Town estate was built, around 1828, nine pillars of cast iron were erected. It seems that they were melted down during the Second World War, but they were faithfully reproduced from old photographs and reinstated in 1993. This is one of them, at the entrance to Lewes Crescent. I wondered why they didn’t seem to be on the map as I walked around but realised when I got home that they are marked in #OpenStreetMap as bollards which is, well, utter bollards. #FiveMinuteFix #Brighton
