Let there be light!
Stunning mid-Victorian lamp standard.
The first one with the location and an explanation takes the coconut.

Re: Let there be light!
Mm, you are getting too good with your photo quizzes my friend!!!! Haven't a clue, but am trying to think where that stone walling in the background could be. Why does Whalley Road, Oak Lea area, spring to mind?

Re: Let there be light!
Explanation for what? Why it hasn't been replaced by something modern? Is it in the vicarage grounds or something and not council property?

Re: Let there be light!
Why it is there and why it is so ornate and why it is the only one of it's type. There must be a reason!

Guessing here, maybe something to do with the opening of Mercer Park, when they maybe "improved" the surrounding area, ready for the official opening day????????

Dunno if there was a Royal Visit, just guessing
 but looking at the photo of the crowds at the main gate, it surely was a big event!Last edited by Atarah; 01-09-2004 at 08:04. |
