Description

The lamp post at the foot of St George's Church is a Grade II listed gas standard from the mid to late 19th century, located on the north side of St George's Church on St George's Road. It was adapted for electric light in the late 19th or early 20th century. The post is made of cast iron and another metal, featuring a straight-sided design that is cast as a fluted and tapering Tuscan column. It has a single maintenance arm and is topped by a plain cylindrical impost. Above this, there is a timing mechanism marked BLEECO, which serves as a base for a swan-neck tubular bracket, braced by a metal fillet shaped like a tendril. The lamp post also includes a shallow dish reflector.
