Whatever about the removal of the majority of these in the early ’80s, the removal of several as recently as 5 years ago is totally unacceptable. And it begs the question; what did they do with them after removal? Are they being carefully stored or were they just smashed up? Does their concrete construction mean removal inevitably results in chipping/breakage to the lamps, preventing re-use? Any which way, removing them was a prime example of official cultural vandalism.

Graham, I look forward to the info you’ve gathered on lamps in the city centre (‘got some of my own too). Where will it be going, a new thread or an existing one?
