Detail of this lamppost which is typical of many still in service in Bournemouth's suburbs, with the two 'handles' which would have supported the gasman's ladder in the days when there were gas lamps rather than electric bulbs installed. Tonight, the ninth night of January and the ninth cold one, the lamp is illuminating a frosty cobweb.
