They have installed the lamposts in Canonbie Road over the last couple of days. They are giants - and with the slope of the hill look even more towering! Whilst they aren't the prettiest, they are not as obtrusive as I had feared.

And on the upside, Lewisham's 'rationalisation' of street signs will mean that when all the work is done, I'll get rid of two street signs slap bang in the middle of the pavement outside my house, replaced by just one (very tall!) lampost positioned neatly to one side.

That said, I still don't know what they are going to be like when switched on - and reading comments here I hope the new bright lights aren't going to broken nights sleep.
