It was a tall steel tubular pole with a frame (similar to a shuttlecock) 'balanced' on the top. This frame had a wooden ledge around the bottom that kids stood on and a handrail part way up. The frame spun but also 'rocked'. The last time I saw one the frame had been removed - H%26amp;S again.|||We called ours a 'Witches Hat'.
Heres one...

We also had a "spider", which was a huge steel climbing frame shaped like a spider-you had to climb up the legs and then shimmy over the flat bit to get to sit on the spiders body. The back legs were higher than the front. We also had one of the barrels that you ran on and the rocking horse that you could fit about 15 kids on. That is until they all got wrecked by teenagers and the council took the playground away. Nothing like that for my daughter to play on now-what a shame!!|||Yes i remember them, last time i saw one of them was in the early eighties ! It was called a witches hat . I have found a picture of a basic one. How can i get it to you on here ?
