Bollard with half-bollards with shields and the town's motto 'Salubritas et Erudito'. Arched lamp holder and dragon infill with crowning onion finial.

The motif is taken from the coat of arms of the borough, granted to the town 11 years after its incorporation in 1876. There are other examples of the type in Cambray Place (qv), St Mary's Churchyard, Church Street (qv) and Trafalgar Street (qv).
