Lamp post outside 9 Burleigh Street

The lamp post outside 9 Burleigh Street is a gas street light from the early 20th century, likely installed in the 1930s. It features a cast iron column made by Revo and an Upright Rochester lantern produced by William Sugg and Company Limited.

The lamp post has a tapering, fluted column resembling the William Sugg model 1275, often referred to as the 'Eddystone' in Westminster. The circular base of the post is marked with the manufacturer's name and location: REVO TIPTON. The lantern includes a circular, weatherproof chimney above a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure, which has a drainage hole at its base. Inside this enclosure is a six-mantle burner, which is supplied with gas from a Horstmann automatic gas controller located in a cast iron control box at the junction of two upright arms. These arms pass through a horizontal enamelled steel reflector to support the main body and deliver gas to the burner. The arms also feature original decorative ironwork scrolls typical of inter-war Rochester lanterns, although the lower parts of these scrolls are missing.
