Lamp-post

The Lamp-post was a major landmark in the country of Narnia, located in the northern unpopulated area, which was named Lantern Waste after it. Resembling a London streetlampm it stood in the middle of the forest and shone day and night. It was at the lamp-post that Lucy Pevensie first met Mr. Tumnus.

The Lamp-post originated in the first few days of Narnia's creation, from a bar of iron which Queen Jadis had torn from a London lamppost and thrown at Aslan. Aslan at the time was creating the living things of Narnia by his song, which made the ground of Narnia magically fertile and gave birth to the animals and plants of the world. The iron bar fell to the ground and, under the influence of Aslan's song, gave birth to a new lamppost, which grew from a few feet high to a full sized streetlight in a few hours.

The Lamp-post's ability to burn continuously without fuel (London streetlamps run on gas) may have been due to the fact that it is an organic living thing, not a manufactured artifact as other streetlamps are.

Film Notes
The Lamp-post in the movie (see picture) seems to have 'roots'.
