Good to hear that there is hope that city council in Windsor might finally see the light. It really is a shame that this Lancaster has stayed out so long.
It is a telling tribute to the many volunteers that she is still in reasonably good shape despite her years stuck on a pole.
Did you happen to get any pictures of the interior. I've seen quite a few from the outside, but it would nice to see her condition on the inside.
