Canterbury’s Heritage Streetlights

Canterbury’s cast‑iron lighting columns are part of what makes the city’s streets distinctive. This atlas records every one, with its design, condition and location, as a shared picture to help plan their care, so that the Canterbury pattern continues to light the city for generations to come.

With thanks to Jenny and Allen MacDonald of Cossington Road, whose initial survey of over 800 photographs made this atlas possible.
