BIDEFORD
SS4526 THE QUAY
842-1/5/232 (East side)
37 cast-iron fence posts between
Bridgeland St and Bideford Bridge
GV II
37 cast-iron fence-posts. Most dated 1847, one 1892. the
remainder undated. Identical in design with tapered octagonal
shafts and moulded caps, the sides panelled; at the top, holes
to carry tubular iron bars (now removed), at the bottom, in
most cases, mountings for rings (nearly all broken off),
presumably intended to carry chains. The 3 posts adjoining the
bridge have holes top and bottom, the section immediately next
to the bridge now having C20 replacement-bars. Most carry an
inscription moulded on one, or occasionally two panels: IRON
FOUNDERS BIDEFORD 1847. Some lack the date or any inscription
at all; the ninth post from the north has the date 1892. The
surface-level of the quay has clearly risen considerably;
probably the founder's name is on the buried sections of the
posts. There is a gap in the centre of the series,
corresponding roughly to the present working quay. The tubular
bars seem to have been added after the widening of the quay in
1899; they were in position by 1905. Photographs of the early
1880s show chains hanging from the tops of the posts.
