Lamp post. Probably contemporary with the 1910-11 Town Hall (qv). Metal, probably cast-iron. One of a group of 5 of identical design outside the town hall. Originally lit by gas, later converted to electricity. Thick cylindrical base with an egg-and-dart moulding below a baluster-shaped foot with acanthus leaf decoration. Cylindrical standard with 3 globes, the outer globes on the ladder rest with scrolled brackets to the standard. An attractive example of historic street furniture and important for group value with the Town Hall which has some fine metalwork associated with the exterior.
