Lamp post outside 2 Dean Stanley Street

A gas street light comprising an ornate column probably dating from the late C19, with an extension shaft and a Rochester-type lantern probably installed around 1930.

MATERIALS cast iron lamp post with a glazed lantern of iron, spun copper and enamelled steel.

DESCRIPTION: the lamp post consists of a column with acanthus leaves at the base and floral mouldings, an extended fluted shaft and topped with an Upright Rochester lantern. The lantern has a circular drum and rain-shield of copper above an inverted, six-mantle burner in a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure with a drainage hole to its base an enamelled steel reflector. This whole assembly is suspended in an iron cradle with two curved uprights projecting from the clock box. These uprights have lost their original decorative ironwork scrolls typical of earlier inter-war Rochester lanterns.
