It may not be an official name, but street furniture is a good name for all the items and objects which make up a city street. Do you notice the:
- street signs
- street lights
- traffic barriers
- traffic lights
- mail boxes
- hand rails
- bus stops
- phone booths
- cigarette receptacles
- fire hydrants
- garbage cans
- benches
- bicycle racks
- parking meters
- sidewalks
and so many other small, old and taken for granted parts of the city streets? What can you find in your own area which has been around awhile and gone unnoticed?
The first telephone boxes, a porter’s rest from 1861 or a street lamp powered by sewage – just a few of the things we can walk past every day in London without often noticing them. Have you ever noticed the smallest Listed structures in London, the K2 phone boxes?
