Gas streetlamp in Namysłów

1869 was a memorable year for Namysłów as the first municipal gasworks was opened, which supplied gas to the 39 gas streetlamps in Namysłów. Every day, at dusk and at dawn, the lamplighter would make his rounds through the streets of Namysłów, lighting or putting out the lamps. Only one such streetlamp survives, even though there used to be more just a few years ago. The restored lamp is prominently located in Bohaterów Warszawy street.
