Description
Freestanding cast-iron lamp standard, erected c. 1880. Modern replacement steel glazed lantern attached to original fluted tapered cast-iron column. To the top is a pair of foliate former brackets while the base has a bull nose moulding on an octagonal plinth. Framed relief panel to plinth with lettering 'H.

Appraisal
Although this lamp standard has had a replacement lantern attached, it is in very good condition, and constitutes a rare piece of street furniture enhancing the appeal of the streetscape.
