Valentine Lamp

The famous Valentine Gas Lamp in Frome, Somerset, England is one of the town's most romantic landmarks and the only working gas lamp in Somerset. Every year since, Valentine’s Day has been celebrated with a Valentine Gas Lamp Lighting ceremony using an original Victorian lamp-lighters’ pole and introduced with much aplomb by the Town Crier.  The ceremony opens with the firing of a rocket into the night sky of Frome. Children are invited to bring a home-made lantern and rewarded with a gift of fresh fruit, and mulled wine is served to warm the hearts of all who join in the celebration.  Of course there is the letter box for the love letters!
