Electricity Junction Box, Hylton Road

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 has a square shape.

Located at the north-eastern corner of Cripplegate Park, the junction box is positioned between the railings and a brick pillar, forming part of the park's boundary. It features a low pyramidal cap with castellated edges above a moulded cornice. There are two main elevations, each with doors that can be accessed from both Hylton Road and within Cripplegate Park. The doors have moulded surrounds and display a Jacobean-style geometric strapwork relief, along with decorative strap hinges on the right side. The two plain sides have moulded edges and each features a circular relief that reads ‘Hardy and Padmore Limited, Worcester’. The box is painted black.
