The Lamplighters: An Evening in Gaslit London

A calm, slow telling of a true story to help you drift off. An evening on the gas-lit streets of Westminster and Covent Garden. The story follows London's first gas street lamps on Pall Mall in 1807, the company and the engineer behind them, the lamplighter's round, the clockwork that took over from it, and the old gas lamps that still burn in the early twenty-first century.

Soft rain plays throughout. No sudden sounds.
