Lamp post outside 11 Lord North Street

The lamp post outside 11 Lord North Street is a gas street light that features a Brompton-type column, erected by 1914, with a Rochester-type lantern likely added around 1930.

It is made of cast iron for the lamp post, with a glazed lantern constructed from iron, spun copper, and enamelled steel. The lamp post has a tapering Brompton column adorned with acanthus leaves at both the base and the top, and it is topped with an extension shaft and an upright Rochester lantern. The square base of the column displays an oval plaque numbered 6526 on one side and the letters St I E W on the other.

The lantern itself has a circular drum and rain-shield made of copper, positioned above an inverted, six-mantle burner encased in a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure that includes a drainage hole at its base and an enamelled steel reflector. This entire assembly is held in place by an iron cradle with two curved uprights extending from the clock box. These uprights still feature some original decorative ironwork scrolls, which are characteristic of inter-war Rochester lanterns.
