That would be an interesting picture with or without the lamp post. On my street, they just put the lights on the telephone poles. =) I think downtown there are dedicated lamp posts, though.
Hello Coline. The lamposts being put in do seem very sturdy. They also shed a rather interesting light - rather like moonlight (=instead of the orange / yellow light of the previous one. I'm not sure why the council is changing them. Maybe because they are more economical to run?
Hello Susan. There are telegraph poles but not everywhere. Where possible wires go underground. I don't think I've seen 'official' street lighting attached to one. Interestingly, telegraph poles here are made of wood whereas lamposts are not.
We have some neighborhoods where they go underground, too, but largely, the telephone and the electric lines run on poles, increasingly, metal ones over wooden ones.

Built to last.
Andy beat me to it! So much wasted cash on plastic coated instant rust posts. I am biased, I love galvanised metal...

Hello Andy. Yes, a very sturdy lampost.
