Three Richardson Candle wall-mounted lamps attached to the south side of Queens’ College, Silver Street.

The three Richardson Candle wall-mounted lamps are located on the south side of Queens’ College on Silver Street. These lamps were designed specifically for Cambridge City by Sir Albert Richardson in 1957 and manufactured by the REVO electrical company. Each lamp features a vertical, tubular lantern made of translucent glass, which houses three or four fluorescent tubes. The lantern is topped and based with simple cast-iron elements and is mounted to the wall using a pair of plain metal brackets at each end, with the lower bracket embossed with the word REVO.

One lamp is affixed to the south elevation of the 15th-century south range of Queens’ College, which is a Grade I listed building. The other two lamps are attached to the south elevation of a white brick building designed by James Essex between 1756 and 1760, located at the south-west corner of the College.
