Lamp standard in the pavement adjacent to the gable of 24 Toll Gavel

The lamp standard located in the pavement next to the gable of 24 Toll Gavel in Beverley dates from 1824 to 1826 and is a late Georgian cast iron piece made by John Malam of Sheffield. It features a square, stepped base with a stilted arch on each face of the lower step. On opposite faces, it bears the inscriptions 'I MALAM' and 'THORNCLIFFE IRON WORKS 1824'. Each face of the upper step displays a wreathed shield with a lion mask. Above this, an octagonal step leads to the column, which is designed in the style of a fasces minus axehead, symbolizing a disused weapon of war. Rising from a narrow collar is a section modeled after Pompeiian bronze standard lamps, topped with a modern copper gas-type lantern.
