I'm not sure why I like wrought/cast iron stuff so much, but I do. So here are some shots of things I have found in my wanderings. Just keep your eyes open and perhaps you too will start to get excited when you spot an unusual or elegant design.
Railway stations are a good place to start. After all, you probably spend a lot of time just gazing into space waiting for a train. This example is from Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
The area round the Caledonian Road has plenty of ironwork - quite a lot of it in the form of bars in HM Pentonville Prison. However, these three window boxes, plus the one at the top of the page can be found in Hemingford Road. To see more pretty cast ironwork, click here for details of how to get to this quiet Victorian road.
Meanwhile at Parsons Green you might like to have a quick look at this lamp before embarking on a long trail to find a series of majestic iron gasholders, one of which you can see in the photo on the left.
Other walks to do straight from the London Underground can be found at London Tube Rambles.
