Description
The electricity junction box, dating from the early 20th century, was manufactured by Hardy and Padmore of Worcester. It is made of cast iron and is located near the junction of Tib Street and Market Street, in the Smithfield Conservation Area of Manchester's commercial core.
The box stands approximately four feet high and measures 12 inches square. It features a low pyramidal cap with castellated edges above a moulded cornice, which is supported at each corner by an inward-scrolled corbel. The north and south sides each have a door with a moulded surround, two decorative strap hinges on the right side, and a Jacobean-style geometric strapwork relief design in the center. The east and west sides also have a moulded surround and a relief plaque displaying the crest of the City of Manchester. However, the east side is mostly obscured by a nearby modern feeder pillar.
