Are these the 'stone wall' pillars?

Yes its one of the end pillars and part of the "round" wall that has gone, I suspect it was a lorry delivering but just wondered if anyone knew.....

Found my own answer in The Mercury...............I wonder if it was an un insured driver and thats why they drove off? Will be an expensive job! http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/hertfordshiremercury/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=478006

I think this area is covered by CCTV. I look forward to reading that they have caught the offender.

If the camera happened to have been pointing in the right direction.

it didn't look anything like that the other day. It just had a few stones missing at the bottom of the pillar on Monday. They have obviously removed the rest for safety reasons.

I am sure you are correct if it took out the bottom of the pillar which looks like where the damage is it probably made it unsafe to leave. They would not want it falling on anyone. Hopefully if most of the stones are in tact they will be able to rebuilt it without too much trouble. If a vehicle had done all that damage I doubt it would have been able to drive off!
