Summary

Description
English: Lonesome Lamp Post and Tree The strange thing in this picture is the lamp post - now out in the middle of nowhere! Although maps show a road for it to illuminate, it takes imagination to visualise the road today.

The road was abandoned many years ago when an open cast mine opened nearby. For many years its sole purpose was to be the access road for a nearby farm - now engulfed by the mine.

The gravel track road was slowly taken over by nature, and the single lamp post was left to decay.

In late 2009 the public footpath past this lamppost was closed and a wider perimeter fence erected, enlarging the area occupied by the open cast mine. It looks like this location will soon be lost.
