J3474 : Wall protection, Belfast
taken 17 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland
Wall protection, Belfast
Some Victorian Belfast buildings, with gated yards, have fixtures similar (but of a different shape) to this. I’ll guess that they were intended to protect the wall from damage by the wheels of horse-drawn carts. This one is on a former warehouse (now offices) in Hill Street (Henry Street on the Google map).

Corner, wall and gate protection,Northern Ireland
Usually metal attachments, often conical or spherical, dating mainly from the era of the horse cart and the early motor lorry. Many cast by local foundries.
