Long Lost Lampposts
Type F Twin Lamppost. Replaced in 2000 by a replica Bishops Crook Lamppost. Located at Sutton Square and Riverview Terrace.
I was contacted about a month ago by a reader named Robert who seemed to have an uncanny knowledge of streetlamps in New York and who sent me these beautiful photos. I absolutely love lampposts (particularly the older ones) and so it's my pleasure to post them here.
I think it's a shame how most of the older lampposts have been taken down. They are ornate glimpses into our cities past and they should be preserved like any other landmark.
Type 24A Modified Lamppost. Photo Taken in 1978.
Bishops Crook Lamppost (Type 6B) on Bleeker and Mercer. Photo Taken in summer of 1977 and the lamppost was removed later that year.
