Street Lamp just to south of Number 29

The street lamp located just south of Number 29 on High Street in Fareham dates back to 1897. It is made of cast iron and features a cylindrical plinth that displays a date panel and the name of the town. Rising from the plinth is a shaft with a bulbous base adorned with floral bas relief decoration. The shaft includes an enriched band and culminates in a cornice with cross arms, supporting a large curved lamp bracket with scrolls, which is now fitted with an electric light. This lamp is part of a group of listed buildings on High Street and Union Street, which includes other street lamps, Nos 1 and 2, the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the Red Lion Hotel, and No 10 East Street. Additionally, No 45 on High Street holds local interest.
