Description

The lollipop man helps everyone cross the road in Glengormley.  

Notes

‘Lollipop ladies/men’ have been helping children cross roads safely since the first British school crossing patrol officer, Mrs Hunt in Bath, appointed in September 1937. After WW2, the 1953 School Crossing Patrol Act extended the idea nationally; since then patrols have been granted the right to stop traffic and to escort adult pedestrians across the road as well as children. They are called ‘lollipop’ people because of the distinctive shape of their sign.
