The lamp-post unknowingly planted by the White Witch seems pretty well known to the creatures of Narnia. Mr. Tumnus tells Lucy that the boundaries of Narnia are from the lamp-post to Cair Paravel. At the end of "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" we are told that the area around the lamp-post became known as the Lantern Waste. So how could it be that the children, as they grew up in Narnia, forgot about the lamp-post? It would seem almost unnatural to forget such a clear landmark!
I actually don't have a good answer for this one. But I had to ask the question before going on to considering our two final points in the previous post.
