The new bows and garlands round the Abbey Archway appeared mid November. The garlands do have lights, but also provide a interesting display in daylight – which is an interesting innovation.
Only one of the older style across-the-street montage lights can now be seen. At one time it was one of four hung, and often in need of repair, across the High Street, but has now been moved to the top of West St Helen Street.
It has made way for the newer style lights introduced a couple of years ago and seen here on High Street – lights that are more reliable and energy efficient.
Not all of the lights were there for the extravaganza evening.
Some were being put up tonight. They are well worth another look now all is done.
I think the new lighs look fantastic. But I confess a slight feeling of nostalgia when I see the one remaining set of lights in West St Helen’s Street.
Nice to see ‘The Bunch of Dafs’ still there…
Gold/Yellow shooting stars with green ‘swishes’.
Is it this last years stuff.
