Description

The electricity junction box on Beckett Drive dates from the early 20th century and was manufactured by Hardy and Padmore of Worcester. It is made of cast iron and has a square shape.

Located at the intersection of Beckett Drive and Ombersley Road, the front of the box is flush with the boundary wall of 2 Beckett Drive. It features a low pyramidal cap with castellated edges above a moulded cornice, which is supported at each corner by inward-scrolled corbels. The front door of the box has a moulded surround and two decorative strap hinges on the right side, along with a Jacobean-style geometric strapwork relief. The two shorter sides are plain but have moulded edges, each displaying a circular relief that reads "Hardy and Padmore Limited, Worcester."
