Malvern Wells Victorian Gas Lamps

Last tour of Malvern and couldnt leave without the Gas lamps .
Malvern's famous set of 150 year old working Victorian gas lamps are an almost unique sight in the 21st C. Installed when the local gas works was completed in 1856, the lamps are still gently illuminating the streets and footpaths of Malvern Wells and inspired the imagination of the writer CS Lewis. Lewis was at a boarding school right on the edge of Malvern Wells Common. He loved Malvern and visited regularly right until the end of his life. In the children's classic "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", Lewis tells of the mysterious 'Lantern Waste'. There, in the wicked White Witch's snowbound woodland, the magical (good magic of course) lighted Lamp Post shows the way to safety for Lucy & Mr Tumnus in the land of Narnia.
Long may they burn !
