Apologies if the image size is too small for Geograph - I had to crop the top edge off using Picnik as I accidentally had my finger over part of the camera lens and it created a black splodge at the top of the image. I can resize the image if needed. The subject of the photo here is the lamp post - one of many which light the pedestrianised town centre. It is called an Urbis St Giles and is the sister of another Urbis lantern I have pictured on Geograph, the Albany, although it is not quite as common. This particular example is not in its best condition, however, as one lantern on the double bracket is missing, and the top lantern looks to have the bottom portion of its bowl missing! View taken from the end of Brewery Walk, although I'm unsure of the geographical location.
