New Lamps for Havenstreet Station
Following an appeal by IWSR
Estates Manager Kim Chalkley to replace the 20-year-old lamp heads on
the platform at Havenstreet Station sufficient funds have been raised
to allow a local craftsman to begin the manufacture of a replacement set.
The lamps are delivered as a bare frame finished in primer, Kim then has
to glaze and finish paint them.

Each lamp costs approximately £300.00 each and more funding is required to see the project through to completion.
