The first lamp, located at the grid reference SO7608846062, is made of cast iron and features a Windsor lantern supported by four scrolled brackets. It stands on a tapering octagonal column that has a heavily-moulded octagonal ring and a moulded base set on an octagonal plinth with chamfered and stepped stops. The ladder rest is octagonal and includes octagonal knop finials, although one arm of the ladder rest is missing.

Its ladder rest is also octagonal with octagonal knop finials.
