Street light not lighting a street
A rather daftly placed streetlight here - it isn't lighting a street at all! Instead, each and every night it just simply lights grass! However, I do get the impression that there was a road here once and it has recently been overgrown and made into a driveway, and thus the streetlight probably dates before this happened and hasn't been removed by the council yet. The buildings over the fence on the left are part of the Birchington Bowling Club.

An old Victorian-style lamp post in a front garden (yet again!)
What is it with Birchingtonians and having old lamp posts in their front gardens? Yet another house, this time on the driveway featured in
Image, has a Victorian lamp post in its front garden, but of a different kind. This one looks very similar to the modern replicas of such a design seen on many roads today, but I think this one probably originally ran a tungsten or GLS lamp instead of a modern one. I've posted onto a streetlight enthusiast's website to get it identified, and it is thought it was made by a company called Falks Beaufort.
