These cute crochet toppers were created by pharmacist and manager Amanda Smith's mum as a warning to drivers about the bollards outside Heath Pharmacy on Free School Lane in Savile Park.

They include a tub of cream and some pharmacy bottles, some amoxicillin capsules and a pharmacist handing out a prescription bag.

She was inspired by a crochet lid that appeared on the post box outside Skircoat Green Post Office earlier this year which featured flowers, toadstools and even a gnome.

Amanda said photos of the toppers that she posted on a social media site for crochet creations have already received over 3,000 views.

"We've had a few people popping in to ask about them as well," she added.
