Richardson Candle group in Trumpington Street including the Fitzwilliam Museum

The Richardson Candle group in Trumpington Street includes street lamps designed exclusively for Cambridge City by Sir Albert Richardson in 1957 and manufactured by the REVO electrical company.

The street lamp features a vertical, tubular lantern made of translucent glass that houses fluorescent tubes. It has a simple cast-iron capping and base, and is mounted on a slim, fluted column made of bronze-coloured cast-iron. The wall-mounted version is fixed to the building with a pair of plain metal brackets at each end, with the lower bracket embossed with the word REVO.

Within this group, there are two lamp posts located on the pavement in front of the Pitt Building, one at the corner of Trumpington Street and Little St Mary's Lane, and one in front of the Fitzwilliam Museum, which is opposite 37 Trumpington Street. Additionally, there is a wall-mounted lamp attached to the Grade II listed building at 71-72 Trumpington Street, completing the group.
