Now and again, the keen loggerheads spotter will find quite rare ones. This is a case in point.
Although there are dozens of bollards in Shrewsbury town, very few have the loggerheads arms of the town council marked on them. This one, which dates back to the time of the Shrewsbury & Atcham combined council, does; it is in St Mary's Court.
However, this bollard has recently been given a makeover, and now looks quite different.
The town tourism body, BID, has been going slightly mad painting all bollards in sight - and this one has not escaped.
Sadly, a blotch of white on one of the loggerheads makes it slightly harder to distinguish .
A new book has now been published to celebrate 600 years of the loggerheads - click here to find out more.
