Perhaps they are a cunning deterrant, employed by HBC to keep certain un-wanted elements from seating themselves on Broadway. |
There wasn't anyone sat on them today. They were covered in puddles, about four hours after it last rained/sleeted.
Everyone who needed a seat on Broadway was perched on the round flower beds.
Those marble benches are an appallingly bad piece of design.
Did sit on the wooden benches on Church Street, the ones similar to the ones taken away from outside the Market Hall, as an 'experiment'. They were dry to sit on.
Didn't see any alkies whilst siting there today.
Just as I never saw any personally outside the Market Hall, when we were lucky enough to be able to sit there...before the madness set in.
