Essex appears to have some of the most old fashioned electricity poles in Britain, many counties have very few left at all but you still see them right across Essex and I personally like them as they remind me of my childhood when they were on nearly every road. Telephone poles have wires coming off a single pole to different houses like the one on the left, while electricity poles have a continuous line of poles connected by the same wires.
