Summary[edit]

Description
English: St James' parish church, Bolton Road, Bolton, Bradford, West Yorkshire, seen from the southwest.
The lamp post in the centre of the photograph was erected as a traction pole for trolleybus wires. The tension in the wires would have pulled it upright, but with the wires removed it now leans outward from the road. These posts are very strong and set six feet into the ground. Because of this most have not been moved but are used for lighting or carrying telephone wires or just standing there.
The last trolley bus service in Britain ran in Bradford in 1972.
