1910s/20s H M Biggleston Lamp posts (and others) in Canterbury

A lot of councils don't care about real heritage, they only care about things they can call heritage to bring in tourists. (Medway council, this applys to you). I have never thought much of Canterbury as it is a large tourist area. But to my surprise, as well as the tourist stuff, Canterbury City Council has actually kept some of its real heritage (in this case, their old lamp posts). In the center of Canterbury their are some awesome original 1910s/20s lamp posts. I have been to Canterbury several times but I haven't taken notice of these as from a distance I had mistaken them for yet another Urbis/Winsor (As it is this sort of thing that urbis/Winsor based their pretend old lamp posts on based on). These lamp posts are amazing. its nice to see that at least one council cares about their lamp posts. Unlike Southeastern trains who recently replaced the old semaphore signals at Canterbury east station with uninspiring Unipart-Dorman signals. These semaphore signals were historic and could have easily been motorized. Canterbury east station was one of the last stations in the south east to have a manually operated signal box (which was recently taken out of use). --- Lamp posts I found in Canterbury --- loads of 1910s/20s H. M. Biggleston and Son 6? X 1930s H. M. Biggleston and Son Loads of 1960s GEC main road lamp posts (with 30s style British Thompson Houston base) --- Lamp posts I found in the outskirts of Canterbury--- 12 X 1970s? Stanton & Staveley with old 30s-50s looking lamps A few A C Fords, one of wich was a very old with no glass around bulb, 1940s? Some other GEC? lamp posts which also apeared to have the British Thompson Houston style base. One of these had a swan neck. And as well as these there were of course loads of boring modern lamp posts. http://beno.org.uk
