II Lamp post. Early 1900s. Cast-iron. Manufacturer unknown.
The lamp post has a cylindrical pedestal elaborately decorated with art-nouveau style motifs. The column base is moulded and similarly enriched. The slender shaft is fluted with further enrichment below the lantern. On the rear of the lamp standard is the number 113.
The lamp post probably dates from the early 1900s, when the railway line into Waterloo was enlarged and the viaduct rebuilt. It appeared in passing in the Ealing Comedy 'A Passport to Pimlico' (1949).
