London tour guide and author Jack Chester was just visiting London Bridge when he discovered some remnants of the previous wars. He spotted two uprooted bollards, which looked totally alright to be there at first glance– because they are used for mooring boats. However, upon inspection, he discovered that they were “sneakily disguised, recycled, upended cannon barrels.”

The cannons were dug out of the ground in the footage he uploaded online. According to Chester, these cannons were actually repurposed into moors. “Upended cannons were used as mooring posts and bollards in the city for centuries, as a convenient way of repurposing old cannons,” he explained in another video.
Well, now at least we know what other countries do to their old cannons!
