Lamp Posts and Street Lamps

[John Latter]

A Victorian-style lamp post on Dover's Prince of Wales Pier:



The third in a sequence of three photos taken at different points along the Prince of Wales Pier looking landwards. This one shows the first stretch of some 250 yards (the pier is over 500 yards long).

The wooded cliffs on the lefthand side of the photo hide Dover's "Forgotten Fortress". Specifically, at this point, the Drop Redoubt - part of extensive Napoleonic fortifications embedded into the top of the Western Heights. Nearby is the Court's Folly - a 200-year-old miniature castle hidden on the cliff face.

Usually Streetlamps get in the way, but this one is allright:

A Victorian-style lamp post in the foreground of a photo showing Dover Castle's Colton Tower or Colton Gate:



Colton Gate (alt. Coclico) viewed from the south. A Norman tower built on a Saxon or even earlier base. The entrance though which Romans, Saxons and probably their Iron Age predecessors once entered their respective fortifications.

The replica Victorian-style lamp post is a reminder of the many buildings erected, and alterations made, during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Quote Rembert Satow:

Usually Streetlamps get in the way ...

Right, Rembert. But some can also add to the atmosphere of a picture like these ones:



Or some are a sujet of its own right:

Another Victorian-style lamp post, this time in Pencester Gardens. I think Dover Council must have bought a job-lot. The 'green sky', however, makes it one of my favourite photos:

I liked this one in particular, Josep:

Then something about the one below seemed vaguely familiar - even though it's only a thumbnail - so I clicked on it and found..
