Almost A Year

Coventry Central Police Station

That's how long this lamp door has

been open...presumably broken :).

I first took a picture of this lamp in May, 2012. 

For some reason it has been the most visited blog post of mine.

Well, since October, 2014, the flap/door has been open.

So, yesterday I decided to photograph it again. 

(Please note 'blue sky' to go with 'blue lamp'.)

 In the photos above (looking down Little Park Street)

you can just see the tops of

Holy Trinity and Coventry Cathedral Spires.

Want to see inside the lamp?

I don't know, maybe the doors to the Police cells

are kept open too :).

Have a super weekend.  I've got an idea

for September 1st CDP Theme Day - Curiosities.

Hope you have too!

'The Blue Lamp' Post

Little Park Street Police Station

Here we have a traditional 'blue lamp' found outside most English police stations.  I am actually standing next to a very busy street close to the City centre.  You would never know it looking at this photo.  Between 1857 and 1969 Coventry had their own force.  They amalgamated with the Warwickshire Constabulary in 1969 and in 1974 Coventry changed again to the West Midlands Police.
