Description

Wall-mounted street lamps known as Richardson Candles, designed exclusively for Cambridge City by Sir Albert Richardson in 1957, and manufactured by the REVO electrical company. The street lamp comprises a vertical, tubular lantern of translucent glass, containing three or four fluorescent tubes. The lantern has a simple cast-iron capping and base, and is wall mounted via a pair of plain metal brackets at each end. The lower bracket is embossed with the word REVO.

The lamps are attached to the south-east elevation of The Old Guildhall, designed by Peck and Stephens in 1862, which is listed at Grade II.
