This fence runs beside a north London canal towpath – the area had been made quite nice by either the local council or Canal & Riverside Trust, with big metal discs depicting locally-significant areas and industries of interest mounted every few hundred yards.  Naughtily, someone had sprayed graffiti over most of them – so we don’t know what this one actually is.
