This lamppost stands at the top of the steepest part of Steep Hill in Lincoln. Phil & I had a stroll around the cathedral/ castle area the other evening.
By coincidence I actually read something about this lamp today. Apparently in the 80s all the old fashioned lighting was replaced with new old fashioned lighting. This lamppost was straightened. A lady that owned a shop in close proximity to the post complained because she had just bought post cards of the leaning post to sell in her shop & it was now no longer leaning!! It was then made to lean again & still does!
@sunnygirl 😂 the stroll was at the top, we came down to this point & then had to go back up- not as steep as this bit, but raises the pulse rate nevertheless!
Wonderful story - was puzzled at the shot at first - then decided everything else was right so that must have been on purpose. Not one to hang out under.
You did well to walk back up Steep Hill. I did that walk about 50 years ago, not so sure I would attempt it now. ha ha.
