Virginia Street

Postby Delmont St Xavier » Wed Aug 15, 2018 5:57 pm

Despite my best efforts, I've searched this site for an answer to this question.

In Glasgow's Virginia Street, there are two iron objects (one which I think is a bell) the other, I don't want to speculate given what it reminded me off. They are directly opposite a store called Felix and Oscars (?). As I have never mastered the art of posting photos on forums, I'm at a loss to show them here but I am hoping that someone out there might be able to answer this question for me.

What the feck are they and what's their purpose?

The bell and the unmentionable thing?

Yes, that's it - the very items of curiosity that are perplexing me just now. I'd love to know the story behind them before I expire this earth....

They are there to stop delivery trucks from cutting the corner and potentially hitting people or the building.

Here is a short film about them;

Every day is indeed a school day. Thanks for that Dave.

The skinny version on the other corner must be for the same purpose?
