A very routine operation for the person doing it, but one well worth recording for posterity. When I was writing the First World War book "The London Gunners come to Town" I was very interested in how Hemel Hempstead Borough Council kept the town running - and I was unable to find a single 100 year old photograph showing a Council workman at work. Most of the lamp posts in the road have been replaced with metal ones in recent years, but this post is one of the original concrete lampposts.
