Hawkeye earnt the name when walking down Windsor Street in Richmond recently. Though I’ve been walking down that street for nearly 20 years, for the first time I saw that on the sandstone edging of the gutter there was this iron ring. And another about a car’s length away. But no more. They’re about 5cm long and located outside the nail bar with the flashing sign opposite the park. I asked local historian Jan Barkley Jack but she didn’t know what they were for. A couple of people suggested something to tether a horse but having had horses for years I’ve never known of that method of tethering. Any theories?
