Can anyone shed some light on this.  What is the added bit on top of the lamp for?

Gas Lights 69801010


If its for the street lighter to rest his ladder on then why is it not below the lamp as it is here.

I am not too sure that IS part of the lamp... but is maybe behind it?

I think you may be right Mr Cad.

Are they telegraph poles?

Ahhh problem solved.  I scratched my head over that photo.  It really looks like it's part of the lamp. Thanks Cadfael.
