Railings

I'm glad to report that some workmen started putting up railings at the end of the Meadows this morning. The stone strip (too low to be a wall really) that runs along here has been railingless since about 1940, when the previous railings were taken down as part of the war effort, then (according to my Dad) left lying in heaps, because we weren't actually that short of cast iron. Quite why this has to be done on Sunday morning escapes me. Only a small stretch has been put up so far, but some reasonably authentic street furniture is always welcome.
