Lamp post opposite Theatre Royal, outside 29 Russell Street

The lamp post located opposite the Theatre Royal, outside 29 Russell Street, is a gas street light dating from 1910. It features an upright Rochester lantern, likely manufactured by William Sugg and Company Limited around 1930.

The lamp post is made of cast iron and has a glazed lantern constructed from iron, spun copper, and enamelled steel. It consists of a tapering, fluted column, identified as model 1275 in the William Sugg catalogue and known as the 'Eddystone'. The base of the column displays the Westminster City Council crest on one side and a registration plaque with the number 7833. On the opposite side, there is the royal cypher G V R along with the date 1910.

The lantern includes a circular, weatherproof chimney above an inverted, six-mantle burner housed in a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure, which has a drainage hole at its 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. These arms carry a horizontal enamelled steel reflector that supplies gas to the chimney. The arms also feature original decorative ironwork scrolls, characteristic of interwar Rochester lanterns.
