Nice find! :-)
I think the people who devote time to cheer up not so nice corners deserve
a
medal.

My mother found an exeptionally lush one and told the local paper about
it. They sent their photo-reporter round, failed to identify the
gardener, interviewed some passers-by and made quite a feature of it.

Oh, help - you've done the Indian Rope Trick with a spiky shrub!!!
It was tied to the "dead end street" sign and now it's looming over the
pavement waiting to fall on someone...

I have seen a few BBC reports on these enterprising gardeners, long may they
continue.

No, no, no Indian Rope trick, I took a hacksaw to the pole, just to get rid
of the top bit :-)
No passers-by or illegal parkers will get spiked.
A pyracantha might not be the best shrub to plant so close to the the post
box, poor postman.
