Description
This is a gas street light located at the corner of Garrick Street and Rose Street, featuring an Eddystone column made by William Sugg and Company Limited, dated 1910. The lamp has a replacement Upright Rochester lantern likely installed around 1980.
The lamp post is made of cast iron and has a glazed lantern constructed from iron, spun copper, and enamelled steel or aluminium. The design includes a tapering, fluted Eddystone column topped with a late 20th-century Upright Rochester lantern. The base of the column is embossed with the Westminster City Council crest on one side and the royal cypher G V R along with the date 1910 on the other side. The manufacturer's name, SUGG, is also found at the bottom of the base.
The lantern features a circular, weather-proof chimney above an inverted, six-mantle burner enclosed in teardrop-shaped glass with a drainage hole at the base. The main body of the lantern is supported by a pair of upright arms that extend at right angles from the cast iron control clock box, passing through a horizontal enamelled steel reflector to supply gas to the burner. Two additional stabilising arms extend from the clock box, indicating that this is a late 20th-century version of the Rochester design.
