Throop, gas lamp no. 2
Image: © Mike Faherty Taken: 26 Feb 2009
One of 28 gas lamps in Throop & Holdenhurst listed by English Heritage http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=352106&mode=adv; relocated from elsewhere in Bournemouth. This pattern (with bulbous stem bottom & protruding bosses) is still common in older suburbs, though converted to electricity. Perhaps installed here to enhance the area's picturesque nature.
