Yesterday I went down Evening Hill to the area of Poole Harbour known as Whitley Lake. It’s a large shallow area of water where fishermen and oystercatchers dig for rag worm at low tide but when the tide is in it’s probably one of the busiest parts of the harbour where hundreds of board sailors Zoom about in the safe shallow water. The road at the edge of the harbour is lit by these decorative cast iron lamp posts which date back to 1895 although I suspect they have been re wired since then.
