Flag pole on Whiteley Wood Road

Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen the very bold flagpole in the garden of a property at the beginning of Whiteley Wood Road in S11?

 

At first I only noticed the St George flag and Union Jack, other times I've seen flags of other nations, and this morning it was flying the Polish flag.

 

This is either a true internationalist or a patriot who lost their way!

 

If nothing else it demonstrates that the council/police/PC Brigade have no issue with the flying of flags, despite the misplaced indignation of some ;)

I haven't seen this specific one but I have seen various others around. My parents neighbour flies a variety of different flags which I'm told has something to do with the Grand Prix (I don't know why though). He's been doing this for about 15 years and to my knowledge no one has objected.

Well you certainly dont see many of them round, it's a shame some people believe they'll be persecuted if they fly their national flag.

 

Hopefully Sheffield will be alive with them, from all countries during the World Cup :)
