Iford: bollards on Water Lane

Water Lane is a public right of way, a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number I05, leading from Iford Lane to Old Bridge Road, which latter is, I believe, the historic course of Iford Lane before it was rerouted for motorised traffic. Here, we look down it as it heads for Old Bridge Road - the parked cars visible in the distance are right alongside the old bridge. The bollards remind us that the definition 'byway open to all traffic' is meant in a somewhat theoretical sense - I think they were put in about 15 years ago as it could be used as a short-cut when there were queues at Iford roundabout. See Image for the next photo on the lane ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos.
