England has spent many years warring with other nations. Not only did they gain a few colonies and such, but they also ended up with tons of cast-iron cannons, like this one in "Gunpowder Square". (Yup - that's actually the name of the street)
These days, there's all sorts of opportunities to recycle and organic, biodegradable stuff is all the rage. Cannons don't fit into the biodegradable category, so the Brits had to figure out a way to recycle them.
So...they decided to dismantle them, paint them, and use them as barriers and decor throughout the city.
These ones are my fave - they look so....British! :)
