Richardson Candle group in St Johns Street and north Trinity Street

Street lamps known as the Richardson Candle, 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 fluorescent tubes. The lantern has a simple cast-iron capping and base, and is mounted on a slim, fluted column of bronze coloured, cast-iron.

The wall-mounted version is attached to the building via a pair of plain metal brackets at each end. The lower bracket is embossed with the word REVO.
