2 Lamps Standards, At Junction With Links Road And 80 Metres To East

Two lamp standards located at the junction of Links Road and 80 metres to the east on Collywell Bay Road in Seaton Sluice date from the late 19th century and were made by Webb Lamp Co. Ltd. of Birmingham. These lamp standards are constructed from cast iron and are painted in dark and light blue. They feature a moulded base, a fluted shaft with a swept foot, ladder rests, and a circular head with a domed cover, although the finial is missing from the eastern lamp post. The bases have plates that display the maker's name and the inscription 'J.E. WEBBS PATENT SEWER GAS DESTRUCTOR'. These lamps were originally designed to use methane from sewers before coal gas was introduced.
