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.
One lamp is attached to the south elevation of the C15 south range of Queens’ College (Grade I listed). The other two are attached to the south elevation of the white brick building, designed by James Essex (1756-60), at the south-west angle of the College.
