The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is vertical. What you see in these photos is not a defunct lamp post. It is a defunct sewer vent at the top of my street. It used to vent gas build ups in the sewer (and probably stunk) when the street was built in the early 1880s. Luckily it is disconnected from the sewer so the worst smell around folows a plate of beans or other such carminatives!

I'm out on Friday.I'll be visiting tomorrow
