Lamp post at junction of Carting Lane and Strand

The lamp post at the junction of Carting Lane and Strand is a gas street light that features a 'Brompton' style column made by S Pontifex and Company, along with a Windsor lantern produced by William Sugg and Company, both likely from the early 20th century.

The lamp post is made of cast iron, while the glazed lantern is metal with an enamelled reflector. The ornate column has a tapered octagonal shaft adorned with acanthus leaf decoration, standing on a rectangular base that is inscribed with the manufacturer's details: S PONTIFEX & CO/ REGNART BUILDINGS/ EUSTON STREET/ LONDON. Additional decorative acanthus leaves are present at the collar, which also includes a pair of metal brackets with decorative scrollwork for hanging baskets, likely added later. At the top of the column is a Windsor lantern, which is square and supported by a four-legged frog. The lantern features four tapered glass sides with metal glazing bars and is topped with a decorative ogee finial. Inside the lantern, there is a four-mantle burner, an enamel reflector, and a Horstmann control clock.
