This photo print, titled "Lamp DP073454" captures the essence of a bygone era in Birmingham's West Midlands. The image showcases a wall-mounted street lamp that stands proudly against the backdrop of Gas Street Basin, located along the picturesque Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Derek Kendall's attention to detail is evident in this photograph, as he masterfully highlights the intricate design and craftsmanship of this historical lamppost.

Its elegant curves and ornate embellishments serve as a testament to the artistry that once adorned urban landscapes. This particular shot focuses on capturing every minute aspect of this architectural gem, allowing us to appreciate its beauty up close. Gas Street Basin itself adds another layer of charm to this composition. The tranquil waters reflect not only the lamplight but also echoes from days gone by when canals were bustling with activity. It serves as a reminder of Birmingham's rich industrial heritage and its vital role in connecting cities through waterways.
