“Remember when we took your beautiful iron railings and melted them down?”

“You can have them back now... sort of”

I think that genius. Excellent recycling and a stark memory of what Britain lived through and survived

British efficiency in the Blitz was just plain incredible. It really was their finest hour.

In the city of London ,there were bollards installed to stop horse drawn wagons to mount curbs and foot paths. There not many of these bollards left today but if you look close you can see they were made from Napoleonic cannon with a oversized cannon ball placed in the top / muzzle .

It’s also why there’s a lot of hedges between brick wall ends. Since the metal was used for the war effort, many people put evergreen plants in their places to fill out the gaping hole.

That type of stuff should be historic landmarks

Old American metal sheets used to drive on as a small bridge for trenches are also repurposed in my country as fences, they are very good for the job and thick, we had one at school it lasted for years before oxidizing and just rusting, it lasted us 70 years.

I hope those reused stretcher fences are never torn down. Reminders of history are important.
Museums can be a bit sterile. Real-world examples have far more impact.
In the U.S., for example, we have many preserved battlegrounds, complete with cannons.
Walking those grounds or watching re-enactments imprints on your soul.

So cool that you can see the dent in the fence where patients were laying. What a cool way to acknowledge the past

Same could be said on what happen to Marston Mats here in the Philippines in which majority of them ended up as Fences in most Filipino Homes & properties here after the war. Most of these mats are still standing to this day.

I'm a recycler, reuser and repurposed kind of person. I really appreciate the reuse of these stretchers!! Yes! 😊

I remember playing near these and walking past them as kids walk past/climb all over, near to where I grew up 30 years ago in London. God that hits you in the feelings area doesn’t it. Wow.
