Lamp Post On E Side Of Railway Viaduct

This lamp post, located on the east side of the railway viaduct, dates from the early 1900s and is made of cast iron, with the manufacturer unknown. It features a cylindrical pedestal that is elaborately decorated with art-nouveau style motifs. The base of the column is moulded and similarly adorned, while the slender shaft is fluted with additional decoration below the lantern. The rear of the lamp standard displays the number 113.

The lamp post likely originated during the early 1900s, coinciding with the enlargement of the railway line into Waterloo and the reconstruction of the viaduct. It also made a brief appearance in the Ealing Comedy film "A Passport to Pimlico" from 1949.

This lamp post is designated as a Grade II listed structure due to its rarity and particularly ornate design, which showcases a high quality of craftsmanship.
