Cadw's description
Location
The 2 bollards are situated some 30m N and NW of Public Toilets at Hobbs Point. The cannon bollard is sited immediately N of Old Pier House, and set below pavement level.
Exterior
Two mid to late C19 iron bollards, plain square top moulded back to rounded octagonal shaft. Hollow with pierced hole each side. The W bollard inscribed: 'Sturges and Co, Bradford, Yorks, Ironworks'. Similar in type to bollards around Graving Dock.
Cannon barrel is set upright as bollard just N of Old Pier House, and is the last in situ of a set, the others since retrieved and mounted on new carriages, for example at Fort Road Park. The cannons are said to be Dutch in origin.
Reason for designation
Group value with other listed structures at Hobbs Point.
