Appraisal
An attractive component of the street furniture of Stoneyford representing an early-surviving feature of mass-produced cast-iron ware. Profiled detailing throughout identifies the artistic design significance of the composition while the survival of the artefact is of importance as a reminder of the mechanisms put in place to light streets in the period before rural electrification.
