A pair of tall street lamp standards, designed by Elisabeth Scott (of Scott, Chesterton and Shepherd), in association with her design for the new Royal Shakespeare Theatre (then called the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre) and completed in 1932.

MATERIAL & PLAN: each standard has a cast iron stem with a domed metal hood and reflective underside.
