Plain Talker   11 #16 Posted September 4, 2008 Used to be one at the top of Manor Lane corner of Southend Road where Mary Manfiedy used to sell ice cream from the horse and cart. Who can remember Mary???  I remember the Manfredis, on City Road, near the cemetery.  They owned a big garage somewhere near Mount View Road, off Derbyshire lane, which my father rented from them, where he first set up his garage/mechanic business.

Shaney   10 #19 Posted September 7, 2008 There is a lamp at the top of Beechwood Road, Hillsborough. I'm sure it's what you are looking for. xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hillsbro   28 #20 Posted September 7, 2008 Yes - this is the one shown as "Oakland Road" on the list. It is at the junction of Oakland Road and Hawthorn/Kendal/Portsea Road, and is still there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Radmunch   10 #22 Posted September 7, 2008 There is a comprehensive list of the lamps on a website created by Alan Cordwell. As a "newbie" I can't give a direct link, but if you Google "Alan Cordwell sewer gas lamps" you'll get there! Also, you can see a map showing the locations if you Google "three legged cat sewer gas lamps" (trust me!) and select the "blogspot" entry. And, yes, it was me that drove round finding and photographing all 22 lamps, 19 of which are Grade II listed buildings. If anyone knows of any more of these lamps (definite sightings please) we'd love to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tooeg   10 #23 Posted September 7, 2008 So Radmunch, you've lost your Forum virginity. How was it for you. I've just had the site up. One or two are looking a bit sad. I'll report them to the RSPCGL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
