Find the Last Lamp Lighter on Cathedral Island
Free
Overview
Cathedral Island has kept its old-world charm with gas lamps lighting up the streets and Tumski Bridge. Since the 1840s, there’s been a guy in a top hat and cape lighting up around 103 gas lamps at twilight.
James and I were wandering back from a day out exploring when we just happened to stumble into the lamp lighter! He was easy to spot thanks to his cloak and top hat, though if that hadn’t given it away, the stream of tourists behind him would have.
It’s true when they say that he doesn’t hang about – he whips around lighting the gas lamps as he goes so you better be quick too!
