Description

This lamp standard, located on the north side of the junction with Albert Road in Seaton Sluice, dates from the late 19th century and was made by Webb Lamp Co. Ltd. of Birmingham. It is constructed from cast iron and is painted in dark and light blue. The lamp features a moulded base, a fluted shaft with a swept foot, ladder rests, and a circular head topped with a domed cover and finial. The base includes plates that display the maker's name and the inscription 'J.E. WEBBS PATENT SEWER GAS DESTRUCTOR'. This lamp was originally designed to utilize methane from sewers before coal gas became available.
