Street Lamp Outside No 21

The street lamp outside No. 21 on High Street in Fareham dates from 1897 and is made of cast iron. It features a cylindrical plinth that includes a date panel and the name of the town. Rising from this plinth is a shaft with a bulbous base adorned with floral bas relief decoration. The shaft has an enriched band and ends 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, along with the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the Red Lion Hotel, and No. 10 East Street.
