Description
This street lamp, located approximately 20 meters south of Number 2 Officer's House in the Royal William Victualling Yard, dates from around the 1830s. It is made of cast iron and features a tall tapering base with a rounded moulding, a shaft designed as fasces, and a crossbar through a round wreath. The lamp has a mid-20th century lamp with a finial.
Historically, this lamp is one of three matching lamps that may be original to the yard, where the designer Rennie preferred the use of gas lighting. The lamp is part of the most complete Victualling Yard in the country, representing a unique example of Neo-Classical planning for a state manufacturing site.
