This makes me smile, not only the lamp and postbox but also the flowers at the base, all so lovingly cared for:-) I suspect it's not easy to present this well, you did!

What a great find Rosa...............and well captured. I like the way the lamp has been decorated and especially the old post box. The greenery behind the lamp makes a great backdrop!

I thought it was a gas lamp, but didn't know for sure until I looked it up when home.

Is the gas lamp lit every day from the 14th of February? If so I wonder when it is turned off for the winter. A most attractive lamp and so well cared for.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
I don't know the answer to that Amelia. I had never walked that far up Catherine Hill before, so it was a surprise for me to see the lamp! It does look very well cared for.

A lamp of great beauty. Also, I really like the "historical" mailbox!!!!!!!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nouchetdu38 club
Thank you very much Nouchet. It says 'Letters Only' on the post box. Not sure you could get anything bigger in there! Surprising how small the early ones were.

What a wonderful object to have in a town, there should be more of them! A nice shot if it Rosa, I like the ivy backdrop.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
It was a nice surprise for me to find Doug. I looked up a few things about Frome before driving there, as I wanted to photograph something different from my usual pictures of the town. I have a couple more with a story behind them that I didn't know before.
Cheers, Rosa.

This looks like a reassuringly old-fashioned lamp post and lamp box, Rosa. They add a lovely splash of colour to Catherine Hill. Cheers, Joe
