Are those things on top of the lamp there to stop the seagulls landing.

I was wondering what they were for but I don't know the answer.
Hopefully someone else does.

Yes they are Gull deterents and are on most Llandudno lamp posts, bit noisy when windy.

The newer lamp posts aren't exactly quiet ! The wiring inside clangs on the sides when the wind is strong !
Mad, Bad and Dangerous to know.

An easy one for a Sunday afternoon.   

Where exactly would you see this?        $walesflag$

Is it the bridge behind Colwyn Bay promenade that goes up to the Dingle?

That's a very good guess Hollins but it's not correct.      Perhaps this photo may help?

Well done Dave, that's the exact spot.     $good$

I went there on Saturday and Sunday and on Saturday the surge from the sea water was going upstream which was quite strange to see.

I was driving around in the area a few weeks ago and when I parked my car I saw this unusual object.

Where is it located?

It's only easy if you know it.    :)

Well that didn't last long Hollins,  20 minutes and you cracked it so well done.      $good$


It's a lovely little park with many interesting things inside it and it's well maintained too.
