When and how did people light their dwellings after dark? How did people manage before the streets of Stamford illuminated, and when did it happen? Philippa investigates the history and provision of public lighting in Stamford, who supplied it and how it was financed and operated. She also looks at how the supply of fuel and power to private houses came about, and what it entailed.
