Yes.

I was practisining my vent act. Obviously not that entry. I'm sure there's on nearby with the bollards.

Another type of bollard was the much smaller type used to protect the corners of building from cart wheels, these pushed the rim of the wheel away from the brick or stone work so the protruding hub of the wheel would not cause damage. They are also seen at the foot of gate posts, such as those at the entrance to railway yards. Some were made of stone, others were of cast iron. A in the illustration below is a stone type, B is a cast iron type formed to 'cup' the corner of the building it was protecting (over the years heavy delivery lorries have compacted the road, causing the bollard to progressively lean outwards away from the wall). C is a very substantial version of B, it stands about five feet high, it is made of cast iron and is bolted to the corner with two very substantial bolts at the top (from the evident damage it was very necessary).
